On Saturday I always have to choose between running or cycling, and for several weeks I favoured running. Recently I considered reverting to cycling because it has been a while since I went for a proper ride. At the same time the regular book discussion that is on a Tuesday was moved to a Monday, and if I had noticed sooner I would not have committed to the book discussion.
A few days ago someone was angry at me for posting too much in a whatsapp chat and I’ve been feeling down because I felt bullied out of the group. I miss sharing project ideas but at the same time it is essential for me to remind myself that just because I am trolled in a whatsapp group does not mean that there are not dozens of other things to do.
Now that the hiking season has started again it isn’t rare for me to have to choose between two or three activities on a Sunday. Do I do the mountain hike from Villars Sur Ollon or the historical one to Romainmôtier?
This is what I was thinking about last night. Should I do the hike with 15 people or the one with just two or three people?
There are a number of ways to simplify the decision process. The first is that as an introvert it is better for me to go with the smaller group because there is a higher probability of establishing a friendship or two. In theory the same is true of big groups but often such groups are already bonded.
