Do you have decision fatigue?

We live in a world where more is better, where more options is supreme to fewer options, with the whole world at our finger tips. Order on Amazon and you can have whatever you want in your choice of 50 colors, all textures available and on your door step that afternoon.

With the ability to have so much so readily available, it can leave us still with a feeling of confusion and distatisfaction as we try to decide what to wear or what to decorate with, etc. I'm not sure about you, but chances are you may have a whole lot of clothes in your closet, but you always revert to the same ones, your old favorites.

There is such a thing as decision fatigue where we get overwhelmed with making decisions and our brain starts to turn a little fuzzy. We fade out because we just don't know and can't seem to make a decision. We get overwhelmed and our brain shuts down because we just don't know anymore.

Learning to keep our choices minimal, with minimal o ptions, frees up energy for us to make other more important decisions that might matter more than which of the 46 pairs of jeans do we want to wear today. Think of how much time you spend deciding what to wear with all of the clothes in your closet. Think of the money you've spent on all those tops or sweatshirts, when really you always have a favorite go to.

Getting yourself out of decision fatigue can begin by cleaning up the number of options that you have. Can you narrow things down to just 3, 4 or maybe 5 of your favorite sweatshirts? Do you have several lunch boxes or bags that are intended to take to work? Do you have a few favorite ones?

Learning to minimize our options can help free up much needed time, energy and money for other things that we want to do. The resources of time, energy and money can be put in a different place and open up other awesome parts of our life.
