I want to figure out my high-level/big picture goals in life. I wrote a few FI comments about this:
-- http://curi.us/2204-alisa-discussion#18268 high-level goals and bottlenecks, examples of high-level goals
-- http://curi.us/2204-alisa-discussion#18276 and http://curi.us/2204-alisa-discussion#18277 – depravity and "the man without a purpose"
-- http://curi.us/2204-alisa-discussion#18305 – trying to reverse-engineer my high-level goals from my low-level goals
-- http://curi.us/2028-writing-tips#18454 impasses, improvement goals vs maintenance goals

This is an important, interesting problem. I added a column to my spreadsheet for "goals minutes". Until I figure out what my high-level goals are, I intend spend at least 5 minutes of FI posting time per day thinking about or freewriting about this topic.

I updated my TTS policy (below) to encourage me to write conversationally. Basically, I don't have to TTS any sentence that I write conversationally, from beginning to end. If I go back to a sentence I already finished and make some edits, then I would still need to TTS the result. I think this makes sense, because my natural process of generating text doesn't create the annoying kinds of errors that I needed TTS to fix.
-Another benefit of getting better at writing conversationally is that it may help me get better at thinking out loud. One way it could help me do this is by shortening the amount of time it takes me to write posts. I wrote about this in http://curi.us/2204-alisa-discussion#18275 .

### TTS policy
-I plan to listen to each sentence with text-to-speech (TTS) before sending, unless I wrote the entire sentence conversationally (i.e., sort of listening to the voice in my head and writing what it says, as if I were speaking by typing, or as if I were typing quickly to a friend over chat.). Any edits to a clause trigger a new listen to that clause. I started following this TTS policy for all of my FI posts [in 2019-08](http://curi.us/2204-alisa-discussion#c13201).
