But don't delay. Whichever conclusion you come to, I can't imagine you would ever turn around and think "I'm really glad I spent so long putting off really thinking hard about that". You won't enjoy it, and you're unlikely to see it as time well spent.

I'm not saying rush to a conclusion; I am saying rush to thought.

Agreed. Today is not the day, however, due to other circumstances. If I don't have at least two plausible options for both of the following questions by Saturday, February 6th feel free to pester me.

  • Who would you bring in on your thinking before it had reached a conclusion, to let them know you're really wondering?

  • What would you do to make the best of the situation, given how much you have invested?

Answer is up, one day late.
