What is worth doing should survive the question, “What must I stop doing for this?”

The question of what stops is more revealing than the question of whether something is worthwhile. Almost anything sounds good in isolation; very little survives being priced against a full schedule. Asking what must end turns a wish into a decision, which is why the question tends to get skipped.

Apply it to the thing you keep saying you will start. Name what stops to make room. If nothing can, then it is not actually next, and knowing that is better than another year of intending.
