This one on Artificial Intelligence is particularly interesting, and a little bit concerning.
Have a look at it tomorrow.
I think a lot of procrastination comes down to decision making, or more accurately lack of decision making.
Example:
Mrs Grim wants a new extract fan in the bathroom because the old one has packed up. Set about “researching” a new fan to kick the can down the road a bit, ha, ha. Coming under pressure to fix the problem I then narrowed the choice of fan down to about 6 different manufacturers and types, MF100, MF100T, MF100SA etc, aarrgghhh. Went to bed!
In my old profession I regularly had to do lots of decision making but the thing I learned early on was if all else fails make an informed decision if possible and stick with it. Failing to make a decision can be nearly as bad as not making a decision as once the decision is made new information invariably comes to light.
Now what shall I have for dinner !
