My whole life, I have lived by adhering to rules and protocols. Nearly everything I do is based on a decision flow chart that follows internal protocols I have developed throughout my life that I consciously think about when making decisions and then, of course, lessons learned after the event. When I'm alone, I explain these processes out loud to my imaginary audience.
There are only 2 areas in which I do not do this: art and sex. For some reason, in those two areas, I just disconnect and go with feeling. It's like I'm not even thinking. However, everything else is a consciously thought out process.
I once told a coworker when discussing a creative process, "that works for you, but I think in bullet points and black & white."
