A few months back I mentioned not wanting to go skiing after work because the Futz Constant (CF) was just too high. The Futz Constant, I reasoned, was he amount of time associated with an activity that is necessary for the completion of that activity, but that is not that activity. e.g. driving to a trailhead, putting on skins, running a shuttle, etc., and I couldn’t be bothered with it at the time.

Sometimes it’s worth it, sometimes it’s not. And with days creeping shorter and shorter, it’s worth thinking about how we spend our time.
