Decision Fatigue

Decision fatigue is a phenomenon that occurs when you face a large number of decisions, decreasing your ability to make rational and effective choices. Studies have shown that decision fatigue can lead to poor decision-making, as you are more likely to make impulsive choices rather than logical ones. It can also lead to increased procrastination and avoidance of making decisions altogether.

Studies suggest that one way to combat decision fatigue is to simplify the decision-making process by limiting the number of choices presented to you. This can be achieved by providing clear and concise information, reducing the number of options, and breaking complex decisions into smaller, more manageable tasks..

To avoid decision fatigue, it's essential to prioritize your decisions and delegate some to avoid overburdening yourself. Taking regular breaks, practicing mindfulness, and establishing routines can help reduce the number of decisions you make daily, preserving your decision-making abilities and leading to better choices.

The more desires you resist, the less likely you are to resist them later in the day. Eventually, you'll give in or give up. The more you try to resist an urge, habit, or desire, the more likely it will persist. The more you think about resisting it, the more it dominates your thoughts. You've probably experienced this: the harder you try to “quit” something, the more you end up doing or consuming it. This is because what you focus on, you bring about. By resisting so hard, you give it enough mental energy to bring it to life, and you end up doing exactly what you wanted to avoid.

Knowing this, it makes sense to tackle tasks related to changing habits in the first half of your day when willpower is high and resistance is low.
