What we're drinking: Sparkling Watermelon Juice 

TOPIC: 

We've both struggled with following our intuition and making decisions, so we’re breaking down what to do when you’re dealing with those fork-in-the-road moments. The average person makes 35,000 decisions per day一it’s no wonder why we struggle with decision fatigue and analysis paralysis. We discuss how to be more decisive and share questions that can help guide you through periods of existential crisis. Plus, we talk about our go-to tools that we use to make concise and concrete decisions. 


In this episode, we discuss:

  • How long it takes the average person to make a decision 
  • Why decision-making can be so hard for people 
  • The connection between lower self-esteem and indecisiveness 
  • What an anchoring bias is an how it affects the choices we make 
  • The best thing to do when you’re having trouble making a decision 
  • Why we love to set self-imposed deadlines for ourselves 
  • Simple steps to get out of the cycle of decision fatigue
