Yes
It depends entirely on what the task is but either way I am not doing it
Both
So both. I have the most meticulously planned 90% complete projects.
Figure it out as I go except (sometime) I finish. But I also haven't eaten in 3 days
Yup
Yes
Can it be both? Feeling so overwhelmed with the amount of research you have to do that you're paralyzed with the thought of starting it?
Yes.
Yes.
Why yes.
I am the middle researcher until I am overwhelmed and decided that I can figure out the rest as I go.
That is the worst. As it covers exactly the worst of both sides. Time wasted on planning AND time wasted on half-assingly hoping to figure it out while at it. That's my approach.
Whichever will be more efficient at not doing the specific thing I'm trying to do
I'm the second type, but I extended it to literally every relevant piece of knowledge in my life. So now I'm trying to fix my entirely rotten foundation from school.
Shockingly, it's actually going pretty well. Turns out the human brain gets better at handling information the more diverse high quality info you provide. Deep diving into niche topics seems worse than just getting a robust foundation and then generalizing.
Having a good thought framework also seems to matter a lot, once I worked out how to think critically in a proper that sped a lot of learning up. Now I don't have to really think twice about most miscellanous things, they're all actually really similar. Humans are not as diverse as we think lol.
I'm neither. I'm the read a little do a little until I'm 99% done. no need to really finish.
Glad there's other ppl in the first category besides me
