Like deciding whether to marry the man/woman you’ve been dating for two years. You are not going to make a better decision by investing another year in the decision-making process. However, a lot more decisions have a significant left-brained, almost aesthetic, component. Like whether to buy that sport coat or whether to include a photo of a client in the solicitation package. These decisions need to sift awhile as they make their way to the consciously-felt level. You know when you leave a movie if you liked it or not, but you don’t know till the next morning, or even the day after that, if it affected you at a deeper level. So, I would say that decision-making is a little more complicated than this piece indicates, as most decisions need to factor in the lag time that I have described above. Curt Tom,
