Beautiful Spirit, Happy Tuesday! Making a decision is what’s top of mind today.

Last week, I was listening to something on YouTube, and I heard the phrase “decision fatigue.”  It sparked my curiosity, so I looked it up.

Here’s what the internet dictionary.com says it is.  The difficulty in making a good decision experienced as a result of the number of decisions one needs to make.  So this warranted another question.

How many decisions do we face a day?  This answer was shocking!  Check it out.  Yep, 33,00.0 to 35,000, say various sources. That’s a lot of decisions!

These decisions range from what you’re going to wear,  the meal you’ll cook, or where you’ll eat,  and the time you leave the house, etc.  As you can see, this is just a start.  If you sit still, I know more examples will come across that brain of yours and mine!

HOW CAN WE LIGHTEN THE LOAD?

Here are a few ways to lighten the load in the decision-making process.  These options range from work to home life and leisure activities, and everything in between.  Furthermore, when we think about it, it makes perfect sense.  So let’s lighten the load.  Let’s go!  These options are self-explanatory.  The list is not exhaustive, and is just a start.  Consider……..

• Delegate

•  Pre-plan

• Avoid Overthinking

• Outsource

• Prioritize

• Make a decision

The third and the last ones are my faves.  You can do it!  It will open up a whole new world once you master it.

I want to hear from you.  Have you heard of this term before?  Did you have any idea that our brains were bombarded with so many decisions?  This information was definitely an eye-opener to me in terms of the number.  I hope it was for you, too!

Beautiful Spirit, this does it for the post.  Thanks for hanging out!  Enjoy the rest of your week!

XOXO,
