It is an instantaneous thing.  You quickly think and then act upon it.  I'm not one for analysis paralysis.

Jack - I will usually think first and then act. Hopefully that keeps me out of trouble, and keeps me from looking stupid most of the time.

Before I strike the match, I think.

However, not much thought before extending the hand or offering to help.

Before spending $2,500 on myself, I think a really good French Tailored shirt presented to the other makes the event much more of a celebration.

Dropping a dollar to the panhandler does not compel thoughts of consequences.

"Will you redirect a portion of your compensation?" asks the women to whom I have shown 24 houses. Consequences!!!!

No, think through the process and consequence. Formulate a plan later.

Execute last.
