I've been sitting here thinking all morning. Thinking can be either over-rated or under-rated. All depends on where you are, what you are doing, who you are doing it about, why you are doing it and how often you do it.
If you are thinking something through for the first time, how do you know that you have given it enough thought? And if you haven't, when do you give it more? If you are thinking things through for the second time, does that mean that you didn't give it enough thought the first time, or was it just the wrong way of thinking for that situation? What happens if the second time around you come up with a totally different conclustion than the first time? Does that mean that you were wrong, or just going down the wrong path?
See what I mean? So many questions, so few answers, at least the ones that you want and are willing to accept. For the most part, I try not to over-think anything. It is always said to go with your first instincts no matter what the decision is. The problem with that is that if you are wrong, you then have to try to defend your position, which, you got it, involves more thinking.
It is hard to believe that people actually get paid to do studies on this and everything else that you can think of. We all thing, why aren't we all paid to do it? Heaven forbid you have a job that requires little or no thinking. What kind of a challenge would that be every day? There are times when I think so hard, I lose my train of thought. Mostly we just put this down to a brain fart or a senior moment, I personally think it is more a matter of not having enough room in the old noggin to continue to a reasonable ending. But then, what do we toss out to make more room? Then the whole cycle starts over again.
Think about it.
