Beware the Perils of Decision Fatigue

Decision fatigue can lead to careless choices or inaction, impacting significant outcomes such as parole decisions. Studies reveal that when decision-makers face a high volume of difficult choices, their ability to remain objective declines over time, leading to a tendency to opt for easier or no decisions. For instance, a study found that parole boards granted 70% of early morning requests for parole, but only 10% for afternoon appearances, underscoring how the exhaustion from previous decisions can significantly alter judgment. This phenomenon illustrates the critical need for rest and recovery to maintain effective decision-making capabilities.
