Why It's Hard to Do Nothing

from Developer Tea · host Jonathan Cutrell

Doing nothing seems like it would be easy... But it seems that action is often easier than doing nothing.Sometimes, perhaps often, action is the right choice. However, if there is no reason to believe one action over another would be better, or action over inaction for that matter - why are we taking action at all?If we think about our efforts as spending time and energy, we can more adequately understand that inaction may be a valuable skill, rather than a risk.📮 Ask a QuestionIf you enjoyed this episode and would like me to discuss a question that you have on the show, drop it over at: developertea.com.📮 Join the DiscordIf you want to be a part of a supportive community of engineers (non-engineers welcome!) working to improve their lives and careers, join us on the Developer Tea Discord community by visiting https://developertea.com/discord today!🧡 Leave a ReviewIf you're enjoying the show and want to support the content head over to iTunes and leave a review!
