How do you make better decisions without overthinking, procrastinating, or burning out?
In this episode of LOVE ONE LIFE, Fred and Drea dive deep into decision-making, decision fatigue, procrastination, and indecision, and how these quietly shape every part of our lives.
With an estimated 35,000 decisions made every single day, it’s no surprise that many of us feel overwhelmed, stuck, or paralysed. Fred and Drea break down why this happens, how it shows up in real life, and - most importantly - what you can do to make clearer, faster, and more confident decisions.
Through honest conversation, real-life examples, and practical tools, we explore:
Why decision fatigue is real (and how it sabotages good choices)
The difference between procrastination and indecision
Why too many options make decisions harder
How fear of wasted effort keeps us stuck
The impact of hunger, emotions, and exhaustion on decision making
Why pre-decision and preparation are game changers How simplifying choices reduces mental load
The power of trusting your gut
How visualisation helps you decide faster
Why making no decision is still a decision
How to stop letting other people decide for you
Simple, practical top tips you can use immediately
If you feel overwhelmed by choices, struggle to follow through, or constantly second-guess yourself, this episode will give you clarity, reassurance, and tools to move forward with confidence.
