"deferred judgment is a postponed life". "To postpone the decision for later is procrastination". "He who postpones the decision — making neurotic". Such diagnoses are full article popular psychology. And people reading them in horror for all of horror, which will lead to their reluctance to solve the problem now! However, interestingly, the managers in this case a completely different look.
it may happen that the wave of information overflowing with perception, can significantly suppress the ability to think and act managers, tormented by the need to take urgent, continuous, urgent decisions (Alvin Toffler, "future Shock").
If information to obtain at a reasonable price is not easy, but this opportunity will soon appear, the proper course for head — to defer action (Michael Meskon, Michael albert, hedouri Fraklin, "Fundamentals of management").
So, stupid managers are psychologists, or they do not realize that they are neurotic? Not at all! Managers are very practical people (at least successful managers). And if they offer to defer the decision, then they have to have serious reasons! Two of them You have already read above: there is no information for making the right decision or the person is too excited or tired to think properly. In the latter case, the fictional heroine Scarlett O'hara said, "I'll think about it tomorrow."
no Strength to think about that now
"I'm not going to think about it, grimly she decided, calling for help the old spell. – I'll go crazy if I now think about that and lost it. You will think tomorrow." It thinks Scarlett, when she left the man she truly loved. Each person in my life was the situation when he was hit with a pain that he could not cope. This severe pain can cause a person a feeling that he is going crazy. And to protect his sanity, he begins this pain to push. How? Pushing thoughts of her. Often unconsciously. This is a natural protective reaction.
Margaret Mitchell writes that Scarlett was attacked by a stupor. Psychologists who work with survivors in an extreme situation, you know what dullness is common. This is even write in the manuals for rescuers and firefighters. I wonder if it was through Margaret Mitchell herself? Where did she get such an accurate description? This condition happens when a person is just exhausted, tired.
it is best to give yourself a little to recover, rest, and then make the decision. If it was a momentary stress, then special action is required. But if a strong shock (affected family members, people learned of the serious illness), you may need the assistance of a psychologist to safely these feelings to live. And to live them, otherwise, they will always push. And apathy, depression, low energy levels, or, conversely, nervousness, increased aggression can become constant companions.
Morning
Sometimes, the morning is wiser than evening, for the simple reason that the morning comes need information. And sometimes not in the morning and the next night, for example. Or in a few days. Thus, if obtaining the information you need to take some action, of course, we must not just wait but to look for her. Sometimes the collection takes some time. You need to determine and decide whether You are ready to wait. And if you receive it depends on You, you need to determine how much time You give yourself to collect it.
for Example, when I went to University and did a study, I had the understanding that the information gathering needs to be finished by a certain date, and after it is necessary already begin to process it. And every person who conducted the study, knows that there is a time to gather information and have time to interpret it. And if to delay, to defer the collection, to deal with the fact that at some point will have to simultaneously and collect data, and interpret them. Make it very difficult, not to mention the fact that such a study with a high degree of probability may not be reliable. So — time to collect information and timely decisions.
changes in the level of hormones
this issue mostly affects women but it affects men as well. In women, this is primarily due to monthly cycle. For example, melon writes: "hi All!!! I have before menstruation comes dullness, thoughts somehow bad form and you're slow, lazy...And as soon as I get it all out, wakes up work and determination ..." the Reason for the change in the balance of hormones, mainly estrogen and progesterone. If the ability to think or assess the situation calmly seriously declined, deciding it is better to postpone to the moment when the level of hormones come in a more familiar condition for the body.
