Age 18 to 20 Lesson A3 – Two Systems, One Brain
Do the following descriptions of decision-making seem familiar?
Feeling overwhelmed when emotions take over—like panicking after getting a critical email from a professor and avoiding their office hours.
Procrastinating difficult decisions—such as waiting until the night before to decide which paper topic to write about.
Overanalyzing minor decisions and rushing big ones—like spending hours choosing a laptop case but rushing to decide on a laptop model.
Making quick, emotion-driven decisions without full consideration—such as agreeing to a road trip with friends despite upcoming deadlines.
