And although I am naturally a maximizer, I have times when I maximize and times (no, the odd day!) when I am a total sufficer and just go with the flow. In fact, some of my happiest times are when I 'let go' and let someone else do all the deciding and just go with it and see what happens cause then I can switch off - a bloody relief when you're a maximizer! Though then I usually switch off so much I get run over.Claire Potterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807145467178332868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438823154447008264.post-37987628517318045782010-08-03T14:59:07.882+01:002010-08-03T14:59:07.882+01:00Ah Ken D...the stretched over a period of time max...Ah Ken D...the stretched over a period of time maximising. I am no good at going back to the same place twice...unless it's a favourite restaurant.<br /><br />Ah Fred - yes I am crippled by too much choice and I am not a maximiser. I just prefer to float and make as few decisions as possible. (Very P on the Myers Briggs scale). I sometimes toss a coin with close calls. Now with milk I do remember more choice in the states....I have got it down to just looking for a green lid on top of something white.Molly Potterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16322262170382594290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438823154447008264.post-53896753807404546662010-08-03T03:47:00.777+01:002010-08-03T03:47:00.777+01:00Yep.

Do you have seven different choices of milk in England like we have here? Skim, 1% fat, 2% fat, Whole milk, strawberry, chocolate, quart, half gallon, gallon. Damn! We even have a variety milk with Lactobacillus acidophilus in it.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.thefredeffect.com" rel="nofollow">The Fred Effect</a>Fred Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09660937700796431860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438823154447008264.post-8908251959273506072010-08-02T18:34:45.374+01:002010-08-02T18:34:45.374+01:00Very interesting Molly P and good advice.

I usually 'suffice' and when I get back, I do a little research and look forward to going again in order to maximise.Ken Devinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01659672111856249878noreply@blogger.com
