newscientist.com — Scientists say that for complex decisions, it is best to sleep on it. I have followed it several this several times. Now scientists have confirmed that I am doing the right thing. However, I have not slept on the decision to sleep on the decision to submit this story to digg.

"Umm -- how do they tell exactly what a "wrong" decision is exactly?"@spacebar14 . Exactly! My point exactly! And exactly what do you exactly do during English class......exactly?

i think this is good advice. get all the options and research done first and then leave it until you are relaxed again. the mind seems to come up with decisions or answers over time and afresh. its like when golfers are about to putt. some of them turn away for a few seconds, so when they turn round to putt they are approaching the scene new. its best not to make a decision in a bad frame of mind. don't be afraid to gamble and be wrong either, but not in a bad frame of mind. this isnt an excuse for procrastination of course. it only works ? with practice. which probably makes it common sense anyway. if you decide quickly its probably mostly based on emotion. decide after a while its probably more to do with common sense, although ultimately all decisions are based on emotion, so ed de bono says, I think

I liked that, nice read.To be honest I thought that the conscious mind Or the unconscious mind was in control at any given point.Is this saying that the unconscious mind is beavering away in the background while the conscious mind is busy on day to day tasks?Kind Regards
