I do believe that time is the challenge in applying critical thinking skills. Especially in today's culture where everyone is in such a rush to do anything and wants results yesterday. Too many of us don't feel the freedom to really take time and think about decisions we make.
Look at the current housing downturn. How many of us, when we bought our house 5 years ago, sat down and thought about what we would do if the housing market had issues in 5 years? How many of us felt like we had to buy a house at whatever opportunity we had and make the decision quickly or lose out? There are so many factors that affect our time and the ability to make sound and informed decisions suffers because of this. My wife and I have determined that we do not make any big purchase decisions without sleeping on it no matter how good it sounds. If it is truly that good of a deal it will still be there tomorrow and if not then we probably didn't need it in the first place.
