A note in the margins

Marginalium
My commentary on something from elsewhere on the web.
On prosocial flaking.
Quite often, I will make an agreement, and then find myself regretting it. I’ll commit to spending a certain amount of hours helping someone with their problem, or I’ll agree to take part in an outing or a party or a project, or I’ll trade some item for a certain amount of value in return, and then later find that my predictions about how I would feel were pretty far off, and I’m unhappy.
With suggestions on how to rectify in a very rationalist way. Amusingly overcomplicated, but also insightful.
