Fast yes

The yes that arrives before the question finishes isn't decisiveness. It's the gap where a decision should have been.

Someone is still explaining and the yes is already out.
It sounds like decisiveness.

Fast reads as capable.
Slow reads as difficult.

So we answer at speed and call it good manners.

But nothing was weighed.
We didn't choose that one. We just got to it first.

A fast yes is not a decision.
It's the gap where a decision should be.

And the yes holds. Long after the speed wears off.
Work we would never have taken if we'd been asked slowly.

Nobody is rushing us.
We just answer like they are.
