The Decision Fatigue You Don’t Even Know You Have
You’re not tired because you’ve done too much.
You’re tired because you’ve made 1,000 tiny decisions before noon.
What to wear. What to eat. Which email to answer.
Do I do this now or later?
Do I say yes or no?
Should I write this post, reply to that message, or scroll for ‘inspo’ first?
By the time you sit down to do the real work, your brain’s already spent.
Here’s your way out:
Reduce the number of decisions you make each day.
Start with these:
Eat the same breakfast every weekday.
Time block your morning focus sessions—same time, every day.
Set your top 3 priorities the night before (hello, Power List).
Say “no” to anything that doesn’t fit before noon—decide once and move on.
Fewer decisions = more energy for the stuff that actually matters.
You don’t need more willpower. You need fewer choices.
Try simplifying one part of your day tomorrow—and feel the lift.
