Example: You've been wanting to take cooking classes, but you've also been wanting to join an improv group. If you don't have time/resources for both of these projects, you might choose a "metaproject" like "weekly dinner party with funny friends" -- it doesn't strictly meet the requirements from either project, but might achieve something deeper you're looking for.
Thank you! That is an actionable example that would be helpful if it was in the actual article.
That example is in the article, but typeset differently.
The example wasn't in the essay when he wrote the comment :) I just added it thanks to the helpful feedback
