Beating Decision Fatigue: Make Better Choices All Day Long

Why Your Brain Gets Tired

Each decision costs energy. Without systems, you burn it on small choices and have less for important work.

Three Simple Systems

• Defaults: Set a default lunch, outfit, and workout slot.
• Batching: Group similar choices—emails at 10am and 3pm only.
• Templates: Write once, reuse—proposals, agendas, follow-ups.

Protect Your Peak Hours

Do your most important work when your energy is naturally highest. Move decisions and admin to low-energy windows.
