Make 1 Big Decision to Avoid 1,000 Small Decisions
You’ve likely read articles or studies stating that we make up to 35,000 decisions in a day.
And while that number is certainly up for debate…
There’s one fact that’s undeniable:
Each decision you make – big and small – will take your time and energy.
We wake up every morning with a 100% charged brain. Each small decision (what am I wearing today?) costs us some cognitive energy. We don’t realize it at the moment, but we will feel exhausted later in the afternoon.
Not only it takes our energy, but it also costs us a great amount of time.
Of the 2,000 adults surveyed, numbers found that we spend an average of three hours a day deciding what to have to eat, what time to go to bed, and what to wear and watch.
With this hack, you eliminate those small decisions from your daily routine.
(Daily Small Decision) What am I going to wear today? → (Big Decision) I’ll wear a black shirt every weekday.
(Daily Small Decision) What should I do this weekend? → (Big Decision) I’ll make a weekend schedule.
(Daily Small Decision) What am I going to eat for lunch today? → (Big Decision) I’ll make my weekly lunch planner.
Automating the decision-making process also improves your chances of success in doing those things more effectively and will prevent you from making impulsive decisions.
Key Takeaway: Save your time and energy for bigger life decisions by automating small daily life choices.
