Description

Ever stood in a grocery store at 8 PM thinking "maybe I'll just have cookies for dinner"? I definitely have. But it wasn't because I didn't care. That's decision fatigue. In this episode, we're diving deep into decision fatigue: what it is, why it happens, and most importantly, what you can actually do about it.

Here's what you'll learn:

• Why you make 35,000 decisions per day (yes, really) and how that impacts your ability to make good choices by evening

• The real reason you choose what's easiest instead of what's best—and why it has nothing to do with willpower or laziness

• 7 practical strategies to combat decision fatigue, including prioritizing decisions, establishing routines, and batching choices

• Why structure actually creates MORE freedom, not less (and how to test this for yourself)

• How adequate sleep impacts your decision-making ability like a phone battery that needs recharging

• The "eat the frog" principle and why doing the hardest thing first thing in the morning changes everything

If you're someone who knows what to do but can't seem to do it, decision fatigue is very likely one of the major reasons why. You're not broken. You don't need more willpower. You need better systems, and you need to protect your mental energy like the valuable resource that it is.

This episode is for you if you've ever felt exhausted by the end of the day and defaulted to the easiest choice instead of the choice that actually serves you. Because decision-making ability isn't broken—it's just tired.
