The Silent Productivity Killer: Decision Fatigue
Every decision you make drains a little mental energy.
By the time you hit noon, you’ve already made hundreds—what to wear, what to eat, what emails to answer, what tasks to start.
It’s no wonder your afternoons feel sluggish.
Here’s how to fight back 👇
🧠 Standardize the small stuff.
Outfit formulas. Pre-planned lunches. Auto-bill payments. Don’t waste energy deciding things that won’t move your life or business forward.
🔄 Batch decisions.
Instead of deciding when to do recurring tasks, pick a default time. (Example: Marketing review = Fridays at 10 a.m.)
🚫 Limit choice in your workday.
Too many options = too much friction. Pre-plan the night before or first thing in the morning.
The bottom line:
Your brain is a tool.
Every unnecessary decision dulls the blade.
