Not quite true: there are a number of decisions you have to make in life or death situations.

This is why getting basic first aid training is a really good idea: you are then trained to make those sorts of decisions and can decide if you’re being manipulated or have an actual emergency that needs a quick decision.

Perhaps no purchase/investment decision?

I've audited a number of sales schools to decide where to send salespeople, and I will straight up walk out if they talk about creating a sense of urgency. Good salespeople are ones who know their shit and build relationships. Shitty salespeople will create an atmosphere of pressure.

The sad thing is that the salespeople who use pressure of time or inventory were trained that way. There are companies that want to make sales that way and don't give a shit whether they have the right product for their customer.

Stop, drop and roll saved my ass. It was so boring and, I thought at the time, dumb to go over it all the time. Then I accidently lit my coveralls on fire, being a dumb ass of course. My mind went blank with panic, but stop, drop and roll was so ingrained that I did it without thought.

So remember, if you find yourself on fire, stop, drop, roll.
