i think the solution is to think more about the harm of giving things away.

I used to be an enabler myself, and what I nowadays do to prevent it is the following check:

  • Does my action reward or is it just generosity?
    • If reward, is it deserved?
      • If yes, do it.
      • If no, don't do it - save it for a better cause.
    • If generosity, does it make an impact?
      • if no, don't do it - save it for a better cause.
      • If yes, did I do this to the same person recently?
        • If yes, don't do it - it will make people complacent
        • If no, do it.

Great subroutine!

It's tough to deal with telling myself "no"!
