My heuristic here is to check to see if I need to do the activity (maybe it’s something I’ve just incorrectly thought I had to do because of some incorrect, unexamined assumption) and if I want to do the activity. If I’m not excited about doing it then I check to see how much it would cost me to get someone else to do it, and if it costs less than some number at which I value the time during which I would have to do the task, I pay for it instead, otherwise I become happy to do it because I generate value with the time over what I would have had otherwise.
