How it starts
A choice uses resources that cannot be used for every alternative. The relevant comparison is the best feasible alternative you would give up, not an imaginary perfect option. Separate costs already incurred from costs you can still change. Past effort may have taught you something, but it does not by itself justify more effort. Ask which option now serves your priorities, given the time and information available.
