For the avoidance of doubt... Yes... I definitely have an opinion... |
 Welcome to my Blog!! Having an opinion is better than not having a thought of your own. I have many of both.... Pull up a pew and grab a hot, steaming mug of your choice. |
| Prompt: What is your approach to decision making? Do you decide easily, or do you take too long a time? Do you also believe some people can or do make snap decisions? *** I procrastinate. My house is never as clean as when I have to make a decision or actually do something I am not 100% invested in. I blog when I should be writing my novel… (seriously NanoWriMo would be a cake walk if I just had to give my opinions or blog – it’s also what I am doing right this second to avoid writing lol). I vacuum when I should be concentrating on a creative deadline. I get fixated on cleaning the grout in the shower when… well, you get the picture. It’s not that I am easily distracted – because this is a purposeful habit. I am a libra – an excuse I use regularly. “I can’t help it. It’s my nature to be indecisive and weigh every decision in painstaking detail.” I am the Queen of the "What If". Most of the time I have mapped out the consequences and probability to multiples scenarios in my head before I take a step – it’s like tree roots or lightning scorch. Numerous possible pathways. It’s hard to make a decision when you have that in your head – constantly. Which pathway do I choose? Which outcome do I want? I also thrive under pressure. I always have. I am the cliché that stays up until 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning on an assignment – which always turns out pretty damn good. I like to overlook the fact it would probably be a masterpiece if I dedicated more time to it. Because where is the fun in that? Where is the thrill? The heart palpitations? My creativity is born from adrenaline. I can almost feel all the neurons popping and crackling in my head and it’s delicious. I sometimes purposefully wait. A test to see how close to the edge I can get before I fail – the “problem” is I haven’t yet. I’ve always passed the finish line. Which makes me want to step closer to that ledge. However, I do have a split personality on this matter when it comes to something I am fully invested in. Something I have a fixation on. Something I can hyperfocus on. Then I can make decisions in a fraction of a heartbeat. Many decisions. In quick successions. So much so, that it will probably give you whiplash. They don’t have to be small events either. If my heart, gut, and mind is fully aligned it will look like a snap decision. That I’ve said to hell with it. BUT. and this is a big but… I have run so many scenarios in my head over the years, analysed the success and failure rates, that I have a back catalogue of options to call on. To help me choose which one most closely lines up. This portfolio of possibilities is in constant use as I navigate the twist and turns of my decisions. Nudging me down different avenues until I get to the destination I want or discover one I am happy with. Is it tiring. YES. Does my brain ever switch off. NO. But I also wouldn’t change it. |
