I'm going to have to disagree on this one. After 3 days you aren't going to have a soft, enjoyable poo. You're going to be passing a small turd-child through a hole that's not meant to stretch that wide.

Sure, but it only gets harder the longer it goes on. At 3 days it's worth it to expel that turd-child

I agree, this is very important to me. My fiancee and I have come to the realization that sleeping in the same bed made both of us sleep worse. The solution was to sleep in separate beds and it's been great. I do miss some parts of it, of course, but the benefits have been worth it

This is so underrated. Sleeping together brings relational benefits. Sleeping apart improves your overal mood due to better sleep, which has even bigger relational benefits :)

Doing small joyful things. Like enjoying nice sunlight, smell of fresh cut lawn, that cool looking cloud, first sip of water in the morning, and every little thing that makes up the experience of you. Once you start appreciating small things, you start to see they are plentiful and makes day nicer, and build up different mindset to follow :)

A higher-quality tool. Buy the cheapest-made one and it'll break shortly, buy the medium one and you'll be set for a while, buy the best one and you'll really be set.

Despite this I still buy the occasional dollar-store tool because it's nice to have extras around just in case they come in handy.

My rule is to buy the cheap ones first, then if it breaks, I know to buy the better/best set. I've saved a ton cause there are plenty of tools I've only used like 3 times.

Generally its a good idea to buy the cheapest gear possible when getting into a new hobby. That way if you lose interest there's not a lot lost, if you keep going you'll know what to appreciate when the time comes to upgrade.

I have a set of screwdrivers that I'm pretty sure came from the dollar store, and they're the favorite tool I have.

Used to work in IT and those screwdrivers disassembled many hundreds of computers, maybe over a thousand. They're magnetized just right too, so I can put a screw on the tip and place it with the tool instead of by hand. They're small, fit in your pocket, very convenient.

Trying.

I know it sounds cliché and... Well... Wanky, but it's true.

Trying and failing will always feel better than just giving up.

Like someone? Say something. They could humilate you and literally kick you in the balls and in 5 years i guarantee you'll regret it less than if you say nothing. (This is not an excuse to be creepy. If they say NO, then hear the NO. Shit happens. Move on.)

Have an idea for something cool? Try to make it reality. The sad truth is, honestly it's probably going to fail, but at least you will be able to say you tried.

And that 1 fucking time I'm wrong... My god, that 1 time. That's where the best that life has to offer exists. But first...

You have to try...

So ask yourself, really. What's the worst that could happen? ... Aaaand now ask yourself... What's the best that could happen?

But if you ask yourself "what's the worst that could happen?" you must realize that sometimes trying is NOT worth it.

You answered "trying" as something that "is ALWAYS worth it" - which was OP's question.

If you now say you need to "weigh the pros and cons" - which I agree - then trying it's not ALWAYS worth it, no?

Then as someone else commented, each person has their own risk tolerance, so once each person weigh the pros and cons, trying will be worth it for some and not for others.

So answering "trying" to "what's something that's always worth it" is rather paradoxical, as what you probably meant then was "trying it, but only when it's worth it".
