Baby Boomers, an interesting 'generation': grew up under pressure...watched the first steps on the moon...survived disco music...and some of us still haven't figured out how to stop yelling and screaming at work.

The Thinking Behind The Tweet
When we make errors we feel at least a little anxiety.
Anxiety is a dangerous state of mind because it can lead to rumination, worry, and deep and dark fear.
Better to nip anxiety in the bud, before it has a chance to grow into a very bad habit.

The Thinking Behind The Tweet
Only on rare occasions do we need to deliver decisions with urgency. For the vast majority of situations we can take time to de-stress or reduce negative feelings before we make decisions.
Given a little time for clear thought we can consider options, we can check our gut, and we can perform common-sense tests.
As the saying goes, "If it's worth doing it's worth doing right".
Note: this not intended as an argument against the value of intuition...sometimes gut reactions bring the best decisions. And - there is value in taking time to think about gut reactions...and learn from them.
