are you a thinker or a doer?

[stevie]

do you think about things too much and never get around to doing them

or do you do things too much and never get aroudn to thinking enough about them?

[stevie]

i think i am definetly in the former group

a few people here have discussed procrastination, and i guess thats what that is , right?

[ted]

Definitely a thinker, with the proviso that once I make up my mind to do something I'm pretty well unstoppable.

i try to be both, but usually am one or the other for quite some time.  for instance, if i go into the library i get very distracted and off topic when i sit down with a stack of 5-10 books. then, i think, i should put in a couple of hours of practice, but if i feel tired, i go eat dinner.  i used to skip dinner and meals, but it's not very healthy.  if you lose your health it's not so good.  at least i did drink a lot of water and started eating less junk food and cookies.  i used to live on cookies.  sleep is good, too.

I think I'm a doer 

Actually my husband and I are both really bad about thinking way too long before doing.

I see you made your mind up to post...twice

[pianistimo]

ok.  here's a test to see if you are a thinker or a doer.  (going back to the soundproofed room idea)  you have before you a calculator, a cell phone, two pencils and pad of paper, and a bag of chips.  you must accomplish three things with the hour.  what would they be and how much time would you spend on each?  add up the minutes.

*if all you did was eat the chips and fiddle with the calculator a bit and balance yesterday's spending in your head - you're a thinker.  if you actively used the phone and the pencils, and there was a significant amount of chips left - you're probably a doer.  what do you think?

[Etude]

Definitely a thinker.

Doers act without planning.
Thinkers plan without acting.

[jas]

Absolutely, completely and totally a thinker. I didn't have to think about that one, though.

DEFINITELY a thinker. I think too much and do too little. For instance, I may THINK about doing my homework for days, but as for doing it...
