Daniel Kahneman talks about how our brains process – we have System One (gut reaction) and System Two (rational thought). For both to operate well, they need different nurishment.
We can talk about System One a different time. I’d like to focus on System Two.
Our rational mind needs a few things. It needs time to rationalize. It needs time to destroy and rebuild.
It needs time.
Once you are clear about the decision you are making (is this rational or a snap judgement) – make sure, if it is System Two, you are taking the time to make the right choice.
