Try practical philosophy

Take one choice seriously.

Write down one choice you need to make today. Then ask:

  1. What principle do I want this choice to express?
  2. What pressure might pull me away from it?
  3. What small action would bring the principle into my actual day?

Return to your answers afterward. Notice what happened, and change the conditions that made the choice harder than it needed to be.
