Measure Pleasure

The point of “measuring pleasure” is to find activities that bring a high value at a low cost.

Here are some examples:

  • “Dollar” Movies
  • Barbecue
  • Community Theater
  • Serve Others
  • Board/Card Games
  • Visit Museums
  • Listen to Live Music at a Book Store
  • Create Something (art, music, game, business idea)

Here is a good chart to work from…

Frisbee Golf 8 Free/Low ****
Pro Basketball Game 9 High *
