A personal framework for deciding what's worth doing: ask yourself if you feel alive doing it. If yes, it matters, regardless of money or success metrics. A year spent feeling alive beats a failed project that leaves you empty.

hand on my heart, it is true. I optimize for the present moment. And more specifically, to me, if I'm having fun, or actually the specific test that I use is, do I feel alive doing this? If I feel alive doing something, then let's say it doesn't have the financial success that I want it to have, or it doesn't have the view count success that I want it to have. Okay, that's disappointing. But if it took me a year to do that, I was alive for a year. I'm not going to look back and regret that.
