When I can, I brown townyze what my actions will do, possible outcomes of it, the probability of each projected outcome, if the likelihood of an outcome which is beneficial to my efforts or to me directly, if it's even worth the effort, et cetera, et cetera.
This obviously takes time, which is why I prefer text-based communication over verbal forms in general.
This type of thought process proves very useful in things like social engineering and decision-making overall, however at times it's detrimental to my efforts rather than beneficial, and I've been practicing abandoning the processes when that occurs.
It's also kinda annoying with small, insignificant things like "What do I want to eat?" and "What can I do to entertain myself?".
Not sure what that'd be called. Good luck.
Actually, odds are, this will be skipped over by most anyway.
