I'm not a very good writer. I'll be the first one to admit that.
But all throughout high school and even in college, this weird and unexplicable force seemed to be at work. There were times I would spend hours on a paper. Research, edits, re-writes. In short, I felt I did a decent job on these papers. But those were the ones that came back with a bad grade.
Papers that were written late into the night and turned in without edits, essay exams where anything that popped into my head was written down without any coherent structure, those were the ones that came back with a decent grade.
Seems this force still applies today. I just turned in a risk assessment to my manager. Usually those come back marked up pretty badly. Today? I have a lot of work to read and get through, so I roughly put something together and turned it in. How many edits? 1 word.
What the heck.

i read somewhere that instinctive decisions actually fare better than conscious/well thought out decisions (unless you're a complete moron). maybe there is a correlation.
