The Action List

If you can't decide between two equally difficult choices, take the path that's more difficult/painful in the short term.

Details:

Humans are guilty of “temporal discounting,” the tendency to overvalue short term pain/reward and undervalue long term pain/reward. So if a decision is painful in the short term, you’re likely overestimating that pain, and should choose it over the longer term pain that only seems small because it’s far away.
