Categories
Categories can prevent you from finding what you love or help you find what you need. If you love Mexican food, choosing a Mexican restaurant increases the chance of a good experience. On the other hand, if you don’t like a certain genre of music or books, you might miss out on something great because of the way it’s categorized.
I recently discovered the perils of categories. A guitarist that I follow plays in a couple of different bands. I resisted listening to one of the bands because some of their music is labeled Country (not really my thing). When I decided to give them a chance, it became one of my favorite new finds. (If you want to check it out, the album is The Valley by Noah Guthrie.)
What are you missing out on by avoiding certain categories?
Hopefully, my questions cause you to reflect on your own thinking, relationships or choices. Maybe I even inspire you to make positive changes.

Improve instead of optimize
I previously wrote about the downside of optimizing. If you still want to optimize something, first make sure you have the basics covered. If your car has a flat tire, switching to high octane fuel is probably not going to help much. Struggle to run a...
