Deadlines
You see, I’m pretty good with deadlines. I don’t tend to procrastinate much. Deadlines are deadlines and if there is one on the horizon for me I can go as far as lose sleep over it. Yet, sometimes I do miss deadlines and sometimes I do procrastinate (and I hate myself for it). Like with … Continue reading
We Have to Go Back
Just watched a film that got me thinking about how once we choose one path, we can’t just turn back around and go down an alternative path should we not like our first choice. Our first choice is our only choice. We don’t get to live our lives twice. Once we make the very initial decision, it’s … Continue reading

Let’s Cheer Ourselves Up
I don’t know how to describe this, actually. I just think that many of Natalie Tran’s videos border on being pretty wonderful antidepressants))) Enjoy
Pupil dilation betrays the timing of decisions
As a junkie for anything on decision-making I was elated to find this research that basically says that pupils dilate the second a person makes a decision. NICE. As many of you know, pupils normally dilate when a person sees an object of interest, in some emotional states, e.g. fear, when a person experiences pain, … Continue reading
