Too what for what?
- ("too")
- If it doesn't have a "for what" then it's basically judgmental
- even if the "for what" seems like it could be obviously implied
- Example: "you're driving too fast"
- "too fast" to avoid getting pulled over by the police?
- "too fast" to be able to brake in time
(given the distance from the next car) - "too fast" to make this turn
(either physically or given some concept of the limits of the driver's ability) - "too fast" for me to feel comfortable/safe here in the passenger's seat
(separate from whether any of the objective measures above are "too fast")
- I've been aware of this for awhile, but I realized I wanted to write this article when I had a conversation with someone who said "I feel like I went into trusting him too quickly" and I realized that there was an implicit judgment there. A kind of sense of "I made a mistake".

- Too what for what? my email inbox is mostly not where the next steps to achieving my goals live, so it's kind of full of busywork type stuff. This is more true for most people than they deeply acknowledge and act on, though for most people probably less than me
