Executive decisions thread
« on: March 24, 2016, 12:05:26 PM »
  This is in honor of a woman who was in my night class years ago.  She was a business manager
  of some kind, and I overheard her joking with a classmate that the first executive decision she'd
  made that day was not to wash her hair.  In simialr spirit, I have decided not to do laundry today,
  because it's my birthday and I'm a sorry sack of mulch!  Post your executive decisions here,
  even the responsible ones.  :P

Going to drink beer today. It's the responsible thing to do.

  Stand by your decision and let no one sway you!  :beer:

Which mourning dress should I wear today?

Not sure how these are executive decisions. Is this actually about executive function?

Thought this was about making decisions like a BOSS, like an executive.

Executive decisions are decisions made by one person for a group without seeking or considering the input of said group.

With a spazzy brain going all over the place with thoughts, taking the lead of all possibly contradictory ideas by making a firm decision does not seem that different.

That sounds like executive functioning which is different because it's individualized and personal, decision making, task management, planning, attention and impulse.
