February Habit of Mind: Managing Impulsivity
“Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.” ~Vincent Van Gogh
People who are able to manage impulsivity will take some time to consider alternatives, gather information and come to a considered conclusion. They are able to set goals, prioritize and keep their plans on track.
“Look twice before you leap.” ~Charlotte Bronte
