I think you've taken the wrong meaning of the words "work out".

[Literally laughing out loud at myself.]

Oscar is correct.

A better phrasing might be: Given that I have difficulty inferring my own desires what might be useful methods for me to discover my pre-existing desires or choose long term goals?

[On an unrelated note, reddits r/fitness is an extremely good source for scientifically based 'work out' advice. Which I believe would satisfy Contanza's criteria.]

Read things like this at least, and assume there are a lot of things like that that we don't know about. That's another of my stopgap solutions.

Interesting link. But in general, I would like just a tiny bit of context so I might know why I want to click on "this".
