Impulse Control
So I'm sitting here reading the news, watching TV and I just put that post up about the lack of consumer awareness when it comes to the HD television format.
All of the sudden, it was like a rock fell out of the sky and hit me in the head, except it wasn't a rock at all... it was a realization. I just came across about seven other news articles that I want to post, and I thought to myself "damn, why didn't I wait to post that story about HD until I was done reading the news today?"
The important part of that sentence is the "why didn't I wait..." part. I never wait, and I often make these "shotgun" decisions before I have all of the necessary information. That said, I think it would be largely appropriate for me to make "slowing down until I have all of the information" (or at least a larger percentage of it) my resolution for the new year.
It seems fitting that given the field that I work in (Project Management and Analyst work) that this would be an easy change for me to make.
It might even be fun to post regular updates about how well I do under the "new years resolution" label, so that's what I will do.
