oh shit have i locked myself into a no-win situation where i get existentially depressed if my actions don't contribute to the bigger picture but also get terrified and avoid my problems when my actions are tied to a vision that's too great and impossible to define WAIT FUCK

I found this 'values to action decision chain' framework quite useful to address some of this. https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/gdQnhjstyFpPtRFnr/the-values-to-actions-decision-chain … A little jargony for my liking, but my takeaway: 1) Define values, 2) Analyze system preventing value realization, 3) ID actions to address those barriers.
