in my psychology class today, i found out that i think using algorithum. basically, i overthink things all the time and find it very difficult to make a quick decision. the positive to this is that i have a higher success rate, but it also means that i use way to much time to come to my conclusion. example: i could spend my entire lunch break debating on what i'm in the mood for, which restaurants have those food items, and how far away they are rather than going out and actually being able to get something on my break. while i was thinking about how anal i am, i thought about people that i know who are impulse decision makers, like my sister. she thinks heuristically. she can go into a store and not have the slightest clue what she's looking for, but can find an entire outfit within a matter of minutes. this also allows her to be more open to new insight, whereas i would have a harder time finding a new way to look at or do things. i find this interesting, and it makes me want to challenge my way of thinking and force myself to be put in more impulse situations.
