"Sometimes I am inundated with things to do and want to do so many of them that I can't decide on one, and eventually my decision is made for me. This is an alarmingly passive way to live, this waiting until you have no choice, like waiting until you get laid off to leave a job you hate. You let external forces eliminate your need to choose instead of making the choice yourself and taking responsibility for the consequences. It is a life lived by default."
To do: Stop living your life by default.
