I read in a magazine (Newsweek, I believe it was) about how too much information fucks our decision-making. Apparantly tests have shown that activity in some cortex behind the forehead, which is responsible for making rational decisions and keeping emotional outbursts under control, shuts down completely if too much input is given to the test person.
So next time you have to decide somthing, cut away all the bullshit and strip it to the most essential information needed.
That said, be warned that I wrote something like four posts this evening. That is a lot of information. You won't be able to react to or comment on everything, that is perfectly normal, so stay calm.
Please read carefully, save your energy and please, by god the almighty and his powerful friends, do not, I repeat, exhaust yourself.
Have a nice evening.

Studies have also shown that people can't handle working with larger numbers... that an ability to budget effectively is directly related to the number of zeros perceived. Kinda explains the budgets of countries, eh? Maybe everyone should just divide by a million or a billion and pretend they are working the budget in a middle class household.
