At the end of the day, check the cards in the right hand pocket to ensure that all the mustdo things have been done.Ideally, organisational systems that help us to focus on what is important are needed. To help, systems should be streamlined. Some sagacious advice is offered by Douglas Merrill, former CEO at Google. By way of example, he suggests bining reading financial statements for a period of time, and following that with backtoback meetings on related financial matters. The aim is to avoid having to download all the details about a specific problem from your mind and reload a different set of data. Also, try to clear your mind between tasks – go for a walk, practice yoga and so on.As regards last year’s financial crisis, why did so many leaders, intelligent people, make so many decisions which later were seen to be so obviously wrong? In the case of the bankers, many would answer that the reason was greed. Was it really so simple? Was a more important failure, cognitive? There is an evergrowing understanding of how our brain works.One view is that to make good decisions you must think twice. This, however, is somethingour minds would rather not do.Nor are our brains good at making decisions. Too often we make choices based on fear of losing, rather than hope of gaining something. In a recent study of 1,000 executives, half said that they relied on intuition to make decisions. Fine, but intuition only works well in ‘‘stable’’ environments where conditions remain largely unchanged, where feedback is clear and where causeandeffect relationships are linear. Hence, according to cutting edge psychologists such as Nobel prizewinner, Daniel Kahneman, there are two systems of decision making. The first is experiential which is fast and automatic. This would be seen as mendable to many experts on time management. There is, however, a downside, namely that it is difficult to control. The second is analytical, which is slow, serial and takes effort. So we should recognise the limits of intention and seek to train our gut to produce more reliable responses. Having been alerted to the possible need to think twice, the decision as to what to do is yours. But, do not procrastinate. In this world you can only cross a wi
