One way to help this is to let calls go to voice-mail. Then you have an opportunity to think & re-listen to the message. A lot of people buckle to requests once put on the spot, like when answering an unexpected phone call.

Completely why getting info from YouTube or cable news can be a bad idea. They shove it into your eyeballs so you don’t have time to process it.

Girlfriend: We should have Spaghetti tonight

Me: I have to wait until tomorrow, then I'll tell you if I agrree with you

Jokes aside, this is generally a good LPT, if it concerns important decisions or ones that have a long lasting effect. It's always a good Idea to have a night over something, so you aren't caught up by an unrational excitement.

Unfortunately, life doesn’t usually give you a few days to decide on things.

My boss actually instilled this in me over the last couple years, in a different manner but essentially the same message. “If someone does or says something that pisses you off or gets your riled up, don’t act on it today. Sleep on it and take a day or two to reflect. If you still feel that same way you felt when it happened, then act on it.”
