I love randomness. Breaking out of the pattern and being impulsive is how 90 % of the fun stuff in my life happens.

The rule is: If you see something interesting, perhaps a group of people you would like to talk or engage with, give your self at most 3 seconds to take action or else; don't do it.

Why 3 seconds? If you spend more time, you will start considering the consequences inhibiting yourself -- your freudian conscious guard is activited.



lol That would practically guarantee that I never did anything spontaneous. I'm much more likely to weigh it all out, then finally decide, "Ah, what the heck" and go do it anyhow, against logic and sense.

It stops me from doing anything truly stupid or rude, but doesn't restrict me from doing fun and interesting things.
