I got the same piece of advice - to think about things in terms of "wants" rather than "shoulds" or "have tos" - from someone outside the LW bubble, but in the context of things like doing my tax returns.
Yeah, as a matter of fact I've been applying the "think in terms of wants" to things like tax returns as well, but I didn't want to get into that since it'd have been a different topic.
Please make a post about that too!
It's a little hard, since a lot of what I've learned about it is in the form of knowledge that's not very easy to communicate verbally. But I'll try, at least assuming that the positive effects keep up for long enough. (I have a rule of waiting for at least a month to see whether such effects really do persist, or whether it's just the initial excitement of finding a new thing that does it.)
