Introduction
Recently, I ve realized that there is a discrepancy between my goals and my actions. It was only a couple of weeks ago that I managed to acquire some terminology for describing this phenomenon. Imagine categorizing (for the sake of simplicity here) anything that can potentially can be done in our lives into one of three buckets
a. something we have to do
b. something we want to want to do
c. something we actually want to do
Past experiences have shown me that the boundaries between these categories are razor thin and one can slip into the other completely unaware.
