I subconsciously find myself discarding endeavors that seem "too easy", even if the end result would be beneficial, in favor of things that seem "hard" [0].
They somehow seem more worthwhile.
E.G. I might discard learning the piano in favor of learning the guitar, because piano seems "easy", and guitar seems exponentially harder. Objectively, one is not more worthwhile than the other. Except since guitar is 'harder', it seems more worthy of pursuit.
Do you do this as well? Are you driving yourself a little crazy pursuing this vague metric? I can't seem to stop.
[0] Easy and Hard are in quotes to denote subjectivity. These concepts vary from person to person obviously.
