impetuously
Acting before considering
Impetuously means acting with sudden energy and without thinking through consequences.
Someone who impetuously quits their job or impetuously kisses a stranger acts on impulse rather than deliberation.
The word carries a sense of passionate haste: She impetuously booked a flight to Paris that same night.
