5. A variant of point #4: Engaging in conversation with people close to you who are routinely cynical or critical of your core principles is of limited value. You don’t have to respond to them. You can simply focus on what needs doing.

6. Self-care is a necessary element of action.

4. Engaging in online fights, especially with strangers, takes time, energy, and has limited use. Weigh the opportunity cost of arguing with unpersuadable people vs. taking action.

3. Acting where one is and attacking a task right at hand > overwhelming oneself with the multiple dimensions of awful. What’s happening at your job? In your neighborhood? In your various communities, including faith communities? “Think globally / act locally.”

1. Taking action > doomscrolling.

2. Building networks > freaking out alone. Building networks of collaboration makes each member of that network stronger.
