Satisficing: Accept an available option as satisfactory
It is a decision that is ok enough to tackle a situation, but not the best possible decision. Well, I've been doing this for years and didn't know it had a definition. Ahhaha
In fact, I will be satisficing this week on more than one thing I had planned.
A self-employed person wears many hats. To motivate me, I put on my marketing hat and dream up big, creative ideas and put them on a calendar to hold myself accountable. I then put on my promtional hat and share it, brag it up, post to social media - you know the whole "nine yards" kinda thing. Well, often times...who am I kidding...more times than not, I over extend myself into doing lots of things all at once. I may also be a little addicted to the "rush" this whirlwind of activity gives me. #Iknowmyowntruth.
So, today, I put on my production hat, you know the hat that is the least fun...work...ahahah...and get busy with my week. I can tackle the accountablity of my calender, not exactly how I dreamed it would be, but I made the decison to keep going. So, I will have to be happy with satisficing it, yet again.
Blessings from Ringle, Wisconsin.
Such a great word, not one that I have come across before. Loved seeing all the old hats.
