I agonized over taking a new job. The new job payed better, had a better location & seemed to have an easier work load. My mind said it was the best choice. My gut told me that I should stay where I was. I took the job and try as I might I was miserable there. So, the moral is I learned to trust my gut (and not burn bridges, since they let me back to my old job)

Oorah! This reminds me of the joke, where a guy who wanted to find a wife, gave three woman US$ 5,000.00 to spend on anything they wanted. The 1st woman bought stuff for herself (so that she could look good for him). The 2nd woman bought stuff for him (to show her appreciation). The 3rd woman took a cruise and spent all the money having a great time. Which one did the guy marry? The one with the largest breasts. It would be a wonderful world if all decisions were THAT easy!

When I was younger my sister and I used to pretend that we were psychic by laying out some playing cards and trying to turn over the one that we had chosen prior to shuffling. Oddly enough if I just went with my first instinct and chose the first card that made an impression on me I would most of the time be right. The second that I thought too hard about it and tried to insert a method of choosing I wouldn’t be able to find the card until I had given up and turned them all over.

Hmm… I think it’s safe to say that Teresa’s decision about what to post was not highly deliberated.

I’ve developed a simple approach which uses both analysis and gut-reaction. I use analysis mainly to reduce the field of choices to a managable level and make the final selection on gut-feeling. Sometimes, the analysis is nothing more than identifying reasons to reject choices. Others, I will have a list of requirements which must be met. If either method eliminates all otions, I obviously don’t need that item. No matter how much I might want it.

It makes sense that you have a “gut feeling” for a reason. So when it comes to things that are leisure like, things you want, i.e. house, car, etc… just go with the flow.

So…we should never know anything about our decisions? Just do quick-draw decisions on everything? More time-efficient in the short-term, granted, but I don’t know how well that would work…. It would, however, be more fun, undoubtedly.
