I am a failed hedgehog!


I love the Hidden Brain on NPR.  But this podcast really made me think.  I came to the conclusion I am a hedgehog.  Here's the link so you can listen, yourself.

I had to look for patterns in how I react.   I see a need and I jump right in to fix it. Then I had to look at what that meant.  I fail pretty much every time.

What did I learn?  Maybe I need to slow down and plan more- won't be easy!!!!!  

Wow, I just had a conversation with someone this morning about when I did that- this someone is definitely NOT a hedgehog.  I couldn't wait for them to do what they needed to do before I started in on making changes, which upset them, and messed up any relationship for several months.  I just can't seem to sit around, twiddling my thumbs, doing NOTHING- when it's so obvious there's much that needs doing.  Not the same as being impulsive because I do plan.  But some people think, then plan, then think for another few weeks or months and - ErrGGGG
