Human tendency is to over-analyze their things. It's interesting to note that this leaves our minds occupied for more than half the time we think we are doing 'nothing'. If this ability puts us at an advantage over other animals, well it also leads to time consumed, sometimes rather unnecessarily over things petty enough. The intuitive nature of animals puts them at a relative ease of making decisions, partially because they do not 'make' decisions.
Impulse is the name given to actions taken in a hurry, and the many proverbs in our languages caution us against these very actions. It's worth a thought though, how many of the decisions from history support this over-analysis procedure?
On the contrary, the over-analysis of actions may prevent something from progressing or materializing.
Funnily though, I get a feeling that I may have just spent an entire blog entry explaining the cons of over-analysis, while doing exactly that over the entire length of this entry. Ah well, a case for an article on hypocrisy sometime soon perhaps?
