Lazy evaluation.

Often times I refuse to think. As odd as that sounds its true. Many times I use what has now been coined by me as "Shallow brain activity". When confronted with a problem I often know that if I were to actually think hard (or use deep brain activity i guess) I could figure out the correct answer. For some reason, I find that thinking hard is annoying so instead I use as little thought as possible combined with some intuition. It actually works pretty well for me and comes up with a quick solution. The quick solution sometimes works and sometimes does not. When the solution works it can save a lot of time and the tiring aspects of thinking hard. Of course, when I am wrong it could actually extend the amount of time needed to solve a problem. After a few quick solutions have been tried and failed, that time could have been spent actually thinking hard and finding the answer the first time. Another problem is that it is sometimes pretty hard to adequetly explain your solution to other people. You just kind of feel it and don't really know exactly why it would work.

Overall, I am not sure if this use of shallow brain activity is good or not but I do know that thinking hard isn't fun. Coming up with quick answers is more fun and can sometimes even allow you to impress yourself if you solve the problem right away. I would give examples of some shallow brain activity but I don't really feel like thinking hard right now. Ba-dum ching! But really, not wanting to give examples isn't shallow brain activity, that's just lazyness.
