How long does a good idea need to be pondered?

[image error]

 

The knee-jerk response to the question “How long does a good idea need to be pondered?” is possibly “As long as necessary.”

This, of course, doesn’t really help if we are dealing with a good idea that in reality is limited to a certain time restriction. Not everything is available forever. There will be a limit to how long we can ponder something before the opportunity associated with it slips from the horizon.

Instinctively we know when a solution is of interest to us. Taking a while to investigate various aspects related to it is one thing. Letting the chance escape from us is another. Finding the right balance between these two positions is a task we all have to undertake using our experience, knowledge, and again, instinct.
