Episode notes

We all have decision fatigue right now about what to wear, what to watch. It's a good way to avoid decision fatigue is by just making the decisions when you're faced with it. What I find is that people when they don't make these small decisions, they pile up. We wait until later in the weekend on Friday, those 10 decisions are now 50 decisions and that's what causes decision fatigue. Think about email every morning - we all have hundreds of emails. The first thing? We delete the ones that are easy. There's 50 left. Those are the ones that we might not make decisions about.

Richard Moran makes the compelling case for why we should take the small decisions in life more seriously.
