made me think of decisions that were seemingly inconsequential at the moment, yet have the result of something suddenly going very wrong.
That's why a simple question of "Want to go camping?" from my buddies Julia and Bryce warrants a "Yes, and have you thought of all the things that can go wrong and ways you can get killed on 3-day a camping trip?"
I think it's harder to consciously realize when a situation is slowly going wrong or getting slowly worse. One way is to take a mental checkpoint and assess, "If [this situation] were to get worse, what would it be like?"
And vice versa, so you can try to make it go in the opposite direction. Thinking about that always helps me to take action whereas otherwise I might just adjust to the new [worse] situation and rationalize that it's not actually worse.
