I take a logical approach. I try to see the problem from different angles. I consider a variety of solutions, weighing the pros and cons. Usually, I discuss it with my wife (most important decisions I make involve both of us). Eventually, we come to a conclusion about which approach is best and we do that. Then, later, we may evaluate if the decision worked out as we hoped, or not.

Depends on the situation. Most of the time I am cautious, but I'm reckless when I need to be.

Cautiously. I tend to talk it over with a few people I trust first, and consider the options, and often change my mind several times. I don't like to rush into things.

It depends on how serious but I do tend to be on the reckless side. For other things, I just barge into them and try not to think about it too much.
Like buying this house... Or the lawn mower I bought yesterday - one store, one stop. I found the best for my needs there and didn't shop around...
I don't obsess when it comes time to decorate like my boss does! Man! That woman renovated her kitchen 4 years ago and still some things are not done because she not sure she'll do it right.

It depends on the situation. Usually cautiously. I've made a few reckless decisions, though. I also tend to ask for advice from friends or family when making big decisions, although I don't always follow it.

depends on the situation and the speed at which the decision needs to be made.

It depends on the situation but I usually I proceed with caution. Too much thinking and planning is not always a good thing, it's just one of my personality traits.

Sorry Hun! I've been around but I tend to stick in Forum. I just moved and I'm a little overwhelmed. I tend to visit the same threads in Forum too... TPBM is one where you'll certainly find me... (and also "For the love of... II")

Come join the silliness in Forum and Feedback!

It depends on the situation, but I'm usually very cautious. I will also consult with someone as well.

Important decisions I usually either let some one else make or consult with some one first. What happens sometimes is a decision will need to be made and I'm approached with it just to make it seem like I'm in the loop or part of the decision. At least that is what I suspect.

It depends on the situation, but I usually don't become anxious before making important decisions. If I'm not sure, I will consult people I trust. Otherwise I make my own decisions and take responsibility for them.

I research everything to death before doing anything. Then I hesitate taking action until I absolutely have to.

I think about it, maybe consult with someone who is more knowledgeable, weigh the options. I have small kids, so can't afford reckless anymore (that's why I have small kids!)

Of course it depends, but I  * check * 'ed 'cautiously' with reckless abandon.

Cautiously. I tend to carefully exclude/include various options. But when it comes to the final decision, I tend to go with my gut.

It does depend on the situation: sometimes I just jump head first because it feels secure...BUT other days..I need to check things out, cautiously...slowly..when I'm ready..there IS nothing to change my mind!!! * grin *

I consider the pro's and con's and then sleep on it, consider them again and then I decide.

I'd like to say that I'm confident enough to make my own decisions, but in the event that someone I trust is nearby, I always seem to have to know what they think, or what they'd do.
