This reminds of me of that xkcd comic about how the decision making process can take longer than just executing both options. It&#x27;s a struggle discerning what&#x27;s worth your time and what&#x27;s an irrelevant shiny object, and that discernment process itself can be a waste of time. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;xkcd.com&#x2F;1445&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;xkcd.com&#x2F;1445&#x2F;</a>
