I have the chance to go spend more time on the Tour Divide this year. Should I take it? Here I use the benjamin franklin method of decision making: make a pro and con list, keep it up to date for several days in a row at least.
- Pro
- I’ve earned this
- I negotiated for it
- Lots of people are cheering me on
- Doing big adventures is an important part of my identity
- I’ve been preparing for this for a long, long time
- I GET to do this – I don’t have to, I’m choosing to.
- What would I do instead?
- Against
- I might not finish
- It will be hard
- I know how lonely it gets
- I’ve already done a bunch of it
- The stories I made last time haven’t amounted to much
