- something related to non-coercion & shoulds
- sometimes you need to do a thing, and it is in fact timely and only you can do it, but it's not a very good fit for your state of mind or something like that
- so there's a bit of... not exactly will per se, but friction towards doing it, and the friction isn't per se coercive but it can be less flowy
- sometimes external should doesn't match internal state, and this results in coercion
- but if you in fact do understand why the thing needs to happen, then even tho there's a state mismatch, it can still happen cleanly once you dialogue stuff
- (otherwise you get but I don't wanna)
- eg Jess needing to go move her car, and that being clearly priority in terms of external urgency, but not a good match for her state of mind
- but I also made that more flowy by finding a win-win where I cooked dinner while she was out
- (a win-win in part because it created a context for me to listen to a John Vervaeke convo I wanted to listen to)
