Filter by values: Align your options with your top professional and personal values to minimize future stress.
Identify common themes: Look for the intersection of things you are naturally good at and activities you genuinely enjoy.
Drop one option: Ask yourself “which option can I set aside right now?” rather than “which one is perfect?”.
