I have real resistance to moonlighting. It seems that this is extra, unnecessary and currently it's not a HELL yes.
There is this great quote from Derek Sivers about how to choose projects. He says that your should ask yourself, "is the a Hell YES? if no then the answer is NO."
The problem is defining the criteria for a HELL yes.
For the next few things that come my way I will experiment with this system to decide:
- What does my gut tell me?
- If yes, what are the long term goals this project will help me attain?
- If yes, what are the values that this project is consistent with?
- Creativity?
- Contribution?
- Compassion?
- Community?
- Growth?
- Health?
- If I hesitate, NO.
Any other thoughts of taking on projects?
