+# 🛤️ The Pursuit
+
+I've had a lot of luck in my life. I was lucky to have been raised to be
+competitive; I was lucky to gravitate towards computing among other engineering
+fields right at the time of the software development boom; and I was lucky as a
+recent grad to land at a startup that succeeded and made me grow quickly; then I
+was lucky to avoid the bubble bursting headwinds and landed a relocation with a
+good salary at big tech.
+
+I also had a great deal of luck to be on the last batch of a state-sponsored
+exchange program which put me in contact with different ant interesting people;
+I was lucky to live inside a progressive bubble that corrected a lot of bad
+tendencies previously ingrained; then I became the luckies of all when I was
+introduced to a loving partner that is my ever-shining guiding star.
+
+Obviously there was a lot of effort involved, herculean effort and commitment.
+Long hours, long long hours burning through life fueled by that spirit of
+pursuing success. My brain circuitry aligned my passion with the most rewarding
+activities capitalism designed for my generation, but making the most of it was
+still a bit brutal in retrospect.
+
+But that too was by chance. I was placed on the empty straight road, with a
+perfectly tuned pair of legs, given top performant shoes, and I was raised a
+runner. All the privileges possible, short of being born with the trophy already
+on the shelf.
+
+## The State of the Art
+
+https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedonic_treadmill
+
+
+## Moving Forward
+
+Richard Hamming is credited with a three-pronged attack on diligence:
+
+1. What are the most important problems in your field?
+2. Are you working on one of them?
+3. Why not?”
+
+
+
+
+# Motivation for Duties
+
+As a functioning adult, one has to keep tabs on a very long list of tasks for
+the sake of the endless maintenance of health, relationships, the household, and
+society at large. It's taxing enough to keep this whole machinery in order for
+one's own benefit; harder still is keeping up with the commitments acquired via
+"promises and compromises". 
+
+The situation is easy to picture: a person you care about has a need and you're
+the most appropriate person to fulfill that long-term, so you agree to own it.
+One new responsibility is born and commitment of best effort is made, adding Yet
+Another To-Do™ to your ever-growing pile of infinitely recurring tasks.
+
+A case study. I favor the "disgusting but quick" over the "straightforward but
+boring" tasks, which is why I've taken bathroom & stove cleaning to escape the
+ownership of dusting and mopping. Being the owner of a task that _someone_ has
+to do isn't so much of a compromise - that task is inherently essential. On the
+contrary. Splitting chores is the privilege of a divided burden, so "scrubbing
+the toilet" as a task isn't a compromise; it's my ticket to _less chores
+overall_. But the "what" is only half the story, the "when" is just as critical:
+if I'm comfortable doing one big deep scrub once every X days and my partner in
+chores cannot tolerate a gap that large, I **compromise** and commit to the
+frequency reasonably requested. Doing it every Y days instead of X days (X>Y) is
+a promised responsibility, for the sake of equity and fairness.
+
+Why is this kind of responsibility so easily left behind? I think it's because
+the immediate consequences for the broken promise is upsetting a different
+brain. Even if that brain is attached to the love of my life, it is REALLY hard
+to make the proper calculation on the importance of that task when you're low in
+physical or mental energy, when willpower falters.
+
+It's all too easy to fall into temptation of skipping the gym because
+future-myself will be the one upset (and future-myself is a different person!).
+Similarly, it's easy to convince my present self that it's alright to clean this
+sink _just one day later_, because someone also-not-me _might_ be upset - but oh
+surely they'll be understanding of my current conditions, and doing it every X
+days is not so bad in the first place! Subconsciously, the compromise
+negotiation is re-litigated with a different outcome.
+
+Alas, yes it is that bad. That's why the promise was made in the first place. If
+it's time to debate a change to the agreement, it can't be an imaginary
+impromptu debate. The compromise exists because it's important, and while my
+brain brushes off this slipup as not a big deal, it does know deep down how bad
+it is and how you are in fact hurting someone you care about. Candid talks are
+made necessary, regret ensues, promises to do better are renewed.
