do you take forever to make up your mind

[emmie]

as i get older it seems to take longer and longer to make a decision about almost everything. Where once i was decisive and straightforward, now it's hard to make even simple choices, are you the same, is it age ?

"do you take forever to make up your mind"

Can i get back to you on this question?

[emmie]

lol

[emmie]

or words to that effect. I do now, it's taken me a week to buy a pair of hoop earrings, lost one of my favourite pair so needed a replacement, damn...

[waterboatman]

Er. Good question em. Let me think about it! :o}

[emmie]

i even take an age to get out the chair, even when i know i have to shift myself, not exactly taxing..

[waterboatman]

That's just idlitis 'cos your comfy em!

[rowanwitch]

not age experience think twice act once

[emmie]

rowan not sure, i was always decisive, get on with it, now i wonder why i do things, reflect then realise i haven't got very far with the chores, even jot down to do things, then lose the list.

Glad I am not the only one. But I get there in the end.

I can make up my mind quite quickly (not always the right decision,but I make it) - it's getting started on anything which takes me longer these days.

[emmie]

boxy i could make decisions easily and stick to it, but now it's all i can do to write a shopping list, but can't count how many times i have left it in the kitchen, and gone off and not remembered exactly what i need.

[boxtops]

em, my list is everything to me - get me in a shop without it and I have absolutely not idea what I need!

[emmie]

boxy i am the same, where once it was all in my head, now that seems to be full of cotton wool.

[TheOtherHalf]

erm.................................maybe, maybe not, cant really decide, ask me again tomorrow

[weecalf]

No next question

[masma]

So glad I'm not on my own...

[rowanwitch]

the thing is with memory and stuff its very much a case of use it or lose it... the more you rely on lists the more you will have to rely on them... and things like making decisions if you prevaricate anxiety becomes part of the process the am I doing the right thing or should I do... I am quite decisive... not always the right thing to do but at least I don't get caught up in shall I shan't I

[commoner]

I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not so sure......one of my favourite quotes . <g>
