Avoid Paralysis by Analysis

Avoid Paralysis by Analysis

 

In a fast-paced world, excessive deliberation creates anxiety, stalls progress, leaving some people to shake their head, wondering, what-the-heck-is-that-all-about? When it comes to home buying, paralytic indecision wastes time, yielding zero results, eroding confidence between parties.

 

Instead, take a structured approach that includes set deadlines, definitive search perimeters that prioritizes the most important aspects, setting aside minor distractions that get in the way of decision-making. That way, instead of trial and error, a positive outcome can occur.

  🕷

But, in the case of a Huntsman spider who came for an uninvited visit today, I didn't have any time to deliberate!!! Quick action was needed to prevent the arachnid from becoming a permanent, freeloading tenant who would drop in unnannounced. Most likely, in-the-dark, from-the-ceiling!

                               🕷

I ran to the pantry, grabbed a gallon size ziploc bag, rolled the top back and placed it over the wall...I was short of screeching like a little girl as it frantically tried to find a gap. My mind kept thinking it would race up my arm faster than I can scream NOOOOO! and bite me on the neck or face!

                                                                 🕷

It finally dropped into the bag, I cinched it and ran outside, tossing the bag onto the grass. I'm skipping the cardio today, my heart got quite the workout while liberating our home from a paratrooping, 8-legged invader!

 

Industry advice:

No need to be fast as Usain Bolt or quick like a Huntsman spider when making a home buying decision. Purchasing a property takes time, avoid overthinking or the dream home you envision can become a thing of the past. An experienced agent can provide all necessary information to make a good decision.

Wanda- not only do I admire your creativity but I have ot say hats off to you for capturing and releasing the spider. As much as I love animals, I would have picked up the Salt gun and taken aim at it.

I have always believed in the advice that I received very early on to trust my gut and that our first instincts are usually the best, haha.

Wanda you are so fun and creative......and I had no idea you had spider hunting skills! Well done!  And I hope you can say One and Done!   Did you read about my spider joke this past month?  I must share it with you if you haven't.  So funny!

I did not know it was possible to have more respect for you. But reading this, my respect for you increased exponentially. 

I live in a no-kill zone. I do not kill spiders or anything that happens to find its way into my home.  They are recused and taken outside.

My husband would take care of it as well but he was not here, George Souto. Am glad he is safely outside! The spider, not Mike! 😂

Was terrified the whole time, Kathy Streib, but knew I could do it. Failure was NOT AN OPTION!

He moved so fast, all I saw was a blur at first, Michael Jacobs! Had to settle down and achieve the goal, calmness prevailed.

Huntsman spiders are good to get rid of pests but they can do that outside, Kat Palmiotti!

Wasn't sure if the spider's intincts were to fight or take flight, so I made the decision for it, Brian England!

We do not get trick or treaters here, Will Hamm. When the boys were growing up, we took them into St. George to get the 'good candy'!
