0:04
Speaker 1: I said, six p forty Uh, it's early in the morning.
0:08
Speaker 1: A good time to make a decision, a big decision, Christine,
0:11
Speaker 1: decide where you're going to paint the inside of your house,
0:14
Speaker 1: because don't you have an article? First of all, you
0:16
Speaker 1: have two things going on. Yes, you have an article
0:18
Speaker 1: about the best time to make a big decision. Yes,
0:20
Speaker 1: and then yeah, you have to make a big decision
0:22
Speaker 1: involving your home.
0:23
Speaker 2: Right. So you know, I've been working with Certa Pro
0:25
Speaker 2: painters and they've been so wonderful and patient with me,
0:29
Speaker 2: and we have a lot that we need done, and
0:33
Speaker 2: we were just going to do the one room, the
0:35
Speaker 2: guest room, but they're so good, Kubby, I'm gonna I
0:37
Speaker 2: contracted them to do the whole house. Okay, the whole
0:40
Speaker 2: interior of the house, which is wonderful. But now, don't duntu,
0:43
Speaker 2: I have to choose a paint color.
0:45
Speaker 1: And you're not you know, you're not the ordinary here.
0:48
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody has a struggle.
0:50
Speaker 2: The struggle is real. Who knew?
0:53
Speaker 1: And the article that we're reading it says, don't make
0:55
Speaker 1: big decisions late at night, like right before bed.
0:58
Speaker 2: Your brain's tired, brain tired. You're legit, you're done, So pick.
1:02
Speaker 1: The color right now, Chris, I can.
1:04
Speaker 2: I tell you? Yeah. So this is a study out
1:06
Speaker 2: of Pepperdine University. Cognitive energy is not infinite. It is.
1:13
Speaker 2: It is burning off like throughout the day. So they're
1:18
Speaker 2: saying that when you get up in the morning, that's
1:20
Speaker 2: when your brain is like, oh, okay, let's go. I'm
1:22
Speaker 2: sure after the coffee and everything. But if you've been
1:25
Speaker 2: weighing a huge decision, like for me, this is a
1:27
Speaker 2: big decision and it's taking up a lot of brain space.
1:30
Speaker 2: And I really feel like I have I don't know,
1:33
Speaker 2: decision fatigue if that exists, because when I say the
1:37
Speaker 2: whole house, that means you know, bedrooms and bathrooms and
1:40
Speaker 2: the main color going throughout the house. And I keep
1:43
Speaker 2: changing my mind anyway, as we speaks, mostly working myself
1:48
Speaker 2: up sort of pro come help, and they are. But
1:51
Speaker 2: there's telling you, first of all, narrow down your choices,
1:54
Speaker 2: keep cutting down the options. Human mind can't comprehend more
1:57
Speaker 2: than three to five options at a time. There is
2:00
Speaker 2: my problem right there. Consider your values, focus on the
2:03
Speaker 2: ideals you want to live up to, and which one
2:05
Speaker 2: aligns most with your values. So this is big decisions
2:08
Speaker 2: in life. Okay, save creative work for the evening. It's
2:12
Speaker 2: when people edit themselves a little less and feel more
2:15
Speaker 2: care free. That's interesting, and walk away for a while.
2:19
Speaker 2: If you're struggling to make the call, take a break,
2:22
Speaker 2: get perspective, if you can sleep on it, and try
2:26
Speaker 2: again in the morning. So we're not just talking about
2:28
Speaker 2: my paint color here. We're talking about you and making
2:31
Speaker 2: big decisions in life.
2:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, but right now, your current big decision is the
2:34
Speaker 1: color of the inside of that house that you are
2:37
Speaker 1: going to be staring at for years.
2:39
Speaker 2: You know. I have talked about this on air before
2:41
Speaker 2: and everybody's like, just pick what you like, and it's like, oh,
2:44
Speaker 2: you think it's that easy. I walked into the store
2:48
Speaker 2: thinking I would do that. I walked out, I got coffee.
2:52
Speaker 2: I went back in because I said, this is this
2:54
Speaker 2: is going to take a while. Then I came home
2:56
Speaker 2: with some samples. There's now peel and stick samples, which
2:58
Speaker 2: are great. You always have to the paint samples and
3:01
Speaker 2: you can move them around. And then I've gone back
3:03
Speaker 2: like three times comey, it's I must.
3:07
Speaker 1: Stop on here. Yeah, another thing you worry about too,
3:10
Speaker 1: which I actually do too. My wife does too. When
3:13
Speaker 1: it comes to paint, you think about the different times
3:16
Speaker 1: of day and how the sun can change the way
3:18
Speaker 1: certain paint samples look. So then that can hamper your
3:21
Speaker 1: decision even more. Absolutely, I love this color at ten am, right,
3:25
Speaker 1: oh it's dark now it's eight o'clock.
3:26
Speaker 2: Oh no, yeah, and again like sort of pro like
3:29
Speaker 2: they'll guide you, but like, yeah, is your room facing
3:31
Speaker 2: east west, north south? Like all of that makes a
3:34
Speaker 2: difference in the color you choose. And I'm sorry I
3:37
Speaker 2: took a lot of flak last time, but I do
3:38
Speaker 2: want to know what the trends are because just thinking
3:41
Speaker 2: forward at some point if you resell what like what's
3:45
Speaker 2: going to hold the value better? You know? Like I
3:48
Speaker 2: keep reading that gray is done and Greece and baijor in,
3:52
Speaker 2: So should I be going that direction?
3:53
Speaker 1: And uh talk about over things nuts, Yeah, that's what
3:56
Speaker 1: I do. You're not alone, and prove to Christine she's
3:59
