The Exhaustion of Fence Sitting
Wonder why Mark Zuckerberg wears the same thing every day? Maybe you heard it’s to reduce decision fatigue.
Wonder why some successful people eat the same thing every day (I think Joe Rogan does this)? Same: To reduce decision fatigue.
Something I learned more recently though is why this even matters:
When feeling fatigued… I’ve learned it’s often because I’ve been thinking about a decision for too long.
The THINKING itself is energy-draining, where if I were to just make a decision… then fail… then recorrect… I realized I’d have so much more energy and move so much faster.
The weight of actually making the decision is often greater than just making the decision, dealing with the consequences if it’s the “wrong” one and learning from it and moving forward.
Onwards and upwards!
