  • #2tweet [missing block] 3 tones of why not
      • 3 tones of "why not":
        • this is why I'm not doing this, I have an excuse, leave me alone
        • this is why I'm not doing this, maybe it's too hard, I'm not sure
        • this is why I'm not doing this, how do I find a solution, so I can do it
      • the second one subtly shades into the first (and I guess the third) in that "I'm not sure" can sorta be indefinite limbo or it can be "I need to really consider/negotiate this to decide"
      • but yeah, the true 2nd is more like "I'm not sure this is worth finding a solution to but I am going to decide/clarify)
      • in any case, it's very important to not confuse myself about which of these I'm doing
