Learning what you don’t like is still learning. It narrows the map.

Finding out that something is not for you is a result rather than a failure, because a map with fewer blank areas is a better map. Much of what feels like indecision is really a long list of untested guesses, and every one you test, however disappointing, removes a maybe. The time was not wasted. It bought information you could not have reached by thinking harder.

When something you try turns out not to suit you, write down which part specifically put you off. The detail matters more than the verdict, and it will shape what you try next.
