don't forget to do something you'll enjoy

I'm not too worried about this. I enjoy both thinking and deliberating in a very broad sense, and I could direct the time I spend on both in pretty arbitrary directions before it became unfun. My plan is to find out what would be best, and then think about how to perturb it to keep me happy enough to remain productive.

Are you sure? In my experience most people who claim they'd enjoy doing anything, say that because it seems like the kind of think that is virtuous to say/believe.

He didn't say he'd enjoy doing anything, he said there was a fairly wide range of things he enjoys.
