[The value of not overthinking a decision]

I thought this was rather poignant with regards to my current decision making processes (and also curiously interesting...).

Particularly:
"The findings *[follow link listed below]* lend credence to researchers who argue that many important decisions may be best made by going with our gut -- not by thinking about them too much."

"The idea that conscious deliberation before making a decision is always good is simply one of those illusions consciousness creates for us." -- Dr. Dijksterhuis

For now, I think that one's gut feeling should be the final call, yet the logistics involved must be of significant consideration.



UPDATE:
[Thank you Zo...]

À propos, this also reminds me about a great decision-making and rapid cognition book by Malcolm Gladwell called Blink. It's a quick and very interesting read...

Here's an interview with the author about the book that gives good insight into the topic:
