INSIGHT

Life Is The Sum Of Your Decisions

  • Your life is the sum total of every decision you have ever made.
  • Good decisions require energy, so protecting that energy is the first step to better choices.
ADVICE

Cut Decision Load By Saying No

  • Reduce the number of trivial choices you make each day to avoid decision fatigue.
  • Do less stuff and say no more often so you save cognitive energy for important decisions.
ADVICE

Make One Decision To Stop Repeating It

  • Make one durable decision that eliminates many future choices, like a standard wardrobe.
  • Choose a small set of items (or colors) and stop deciding what to wear every morning.
