Perfunctory: carried out with minimum effort or reflection
This is a good word to start off the weekend, because I honestly want to do everything with minimal effort on my days off. It can be used to describe a decision that is impulsive or made with little consideration for consequences.
Here is an example of how to use this word:
Though David had only shared three nights with Evelyn, and his friends found his decision quite perfunctory, he was certain that she was his soulmate - and bought a ring to prove it.
Sit this word down on the couch and make sure you take it through a thorough pros and cons list before any big decisions. It's not exactly the pensive type!
