Eliminate Decision Fatigue and Free Up Mental Energy You make hundreds of decisions every day, Reader. What to wear, what to eat, when to check email, what to post on social, which task to tackle first … it all adds up. Even if you love what you do, the constant mental effort can leave you feeling drained before lunch. It’s called decision fatigue, and it’s a sneaky energy thief that hits WFH entrepreneurs hard. Without the structure of a traditional work environment, our brains have to work overtime to create order and flow. No wonder we feel exhausted! But there’s good news: You can reduce decision fatigue dramatically by building more structure into your day. This doesn’t mean rigid routines or boring to-do lists. It means smart systems that support you, so your brain can focus on what really matters. Systems to Streamline Your DayHere are three quick ways to get started: 💡 Create a morning launch sequence. 💡 Designate theme days or time blocks. 💡 Limit your options — on purpose. Want to go deeper and finally stop drowning in micro-decisions? 👉 Read the full blog article: How to Streamline Your Day and Avoid Burnout Your Action Step this WeekPick ONE area where you’ll simplify your decision-making this week.
