It's one thing to give an idea (or a side hustle) a chance, and decide to take a break from it. It's another thing altogether to consider starting something, but not even take the first steps to get it off the ground.
We spend one-third of our lives working.
Nearly 90,000 hours.
To do work that matters, it's important to ask:
How much are you learning?
What are you doing that only you can do best?
How much of your work is in alignment with your personal values?
Would people miss what you do if you stopped doing it tomorrow?
What are you trying to change? What does change mean to you?
Do you wake up everyday excited to keep adding to what you built yesterday?
You might not know the answer to all of them, but it's important to keep questioning.
The answers will bring you more clarity.
And get you gradually closer to working on the right things.

What do you choose to dedicate your attention to? Because in reality, you only have so many hours, days, and years to concentrate on the things that you truly care about. And writing down these intentions in the form of questions is a good starting point to steer you attention in the right direction.
