Guideline: If you do not have a good reason to do something, do not do it.

In the course of doing stuff, you have to make a lot of decisions. At times you get to the point about whether you should do something or not. See this article for How do you know what to do?

Here is one guideline.

Principle of Good Reason: If you do not have a good reason to do something, do not do it.

This is a guideline and you can ignore this as you like. However, when you are waffling between doing something or not, this guideline will help you.

Doing something has a cost. Those costs are:

1. Time
2. Effort
3. Money possibly
4. Risk

You might be able to think of more, such as commitment, though commitment could be grouped under risk.

If you do not have a good reason to do something, then you do not have a good reason to incur those costs.

Spend your resources more wisely.
