I have a principle called "the principle of maximum inconvenience".

This principle tells you that whatever you should be doing right now, is the most inconvenient possible path at this time.

It serves as a guide to help orient me in life especially when I'm at a crossroads.

That's a dangerous game to play if you consider dying to be a serious inconvenience.

People don't usually put this on their TODO list.

If you do, you will really need a really careful optimization algorithm.
