dont blink but sleep on it
Hey guys I found this article on BBC which says that researchers found that if we were to make a complex decision, its better to sleep on it and allow our unconcious mind to make such a decision. Here's the link

All Things Considered, February 16, 2006 ยท You're likely to make a better decision if you don't overanalyze it, according to new research. A study published in Science magazine finds that people make better decisions if they stop thinking about the pros and cons and let the unconscious mind do some of the work.

From a book review in the Sun Times:
The best kinds of quick thinking actually involve quite a bit of time and hard work. Staffers at Cook County Hospital now use a "decision-tree" posted on the wall to quickly assess whether a patient with chest pains is in serious danger or not, but making that flow chart required a lengthy process of studying past examples and devising a computer algorithm. That rogue tyrant in the war game? A Vietnam veteran with a library full of military books. Snap judgments can be useful, but they require knowledge -- and an awareness of where our knowledge falls short.

If you guys think of it, try to post out your thoughts as you go. I know it's tough, and i have about 2 chapters left to finish it, then
i'm going to write a lot, but if you can, then please do.
