“Lincoln often resorted to the process of cumulative thought.” ~ John G. Nicolay

If you only had to make one decision per day—a full twenty-four hours to think through your options—you’d make better decisions than you do now.

In some cases, you’d overthink it and end up with a worse result, but more often than not, your results would be better.

That’s worth pondering. It’s a reminder to slow things down and not make rash decisions.

Sometimes the decision is clouded by emotion. Sometimes we’re too tired to think clearly. And sometimes we need to do a bit of research or bounce our ideas off someone else.
