You’ve Exposed the Secret! Maybe…

A special thanks to those of you who have commented.

Since it reading your insightful comments after the last post, I’ve thought more about this phenomenon.

It seems like decisions are made at a faster rate when it is crunch time!

If you could make decisions with the same urgency and speed on a daily basis, would you be so dependent upon the last minute?

And would this fast-track decision-making process, cause a greater percentage of bad decisions?

What does your track record or reveal? Have decisions which were made at the last minute, then significantly worse than those made it with plenty of time to ponder pros and cons?

Or could it be that the time you spend pondering the pros and cons, is the time you are actually programming or entering data into your subconscious, which then performs during crunch time?

If that’s the case, the last-minute syndrome is an effective cycle which gets results with minimum effort.

Two sides to that coin, with no experience, no good decision can be made. And yet life shows that things don’t happen, or get done without some sort of deadline.

 

Please share your experiences and leave a post!

    Last minute desisions are ok for me. But deciding in advance is much harder….I often forget about it until it becomes urgent. A good frame for me to work in is 72 hours.

    My experience tells me this is optimum time period to make a decision and take action. Any longer, I get bored/distracted, any shorter and I’m overwhelmed.

  3. Hi Mister P,

    Indeed, I like your thinking here. I used to fight against the Last Minute “Syndrome” affect in the brain. And then after a time I realized… hey, I could stop fighting this…. and instead leverage it and have for certain kinds of productivity.

    Happy Dating and Relationships,

    I’ve always “worked better” under pressure.
    I’ve also tried “careful assessment of pros and cons”. Not sure it actually changed the decision I’d have made in a pressure situation. When does it become procrastination?!

  5. I do it, but I don’t think it is wise – many times I’ve thought about something and made a decision. At the last second when I actually have to make the decision by telling someone or choosing something or even checking off a box, I almost always choose something else.

    Procrastination does not improve the quality of one’s decisions.

    Worrying instead of acting on what needs to be done is counter-prodcutive but enticing.

    Unless it’s a matter of life & death, any decision is better than indecision. But then indecision is a decision itself :( ( !

    Well, can’t win all the time :) ).
