1 Mind-Blowing Fact:

Decision fatigue is as real as my love for chocolate.

Studies show that the quality of our decisions declines after an extended session of decision-making.

This is because each decision depletes a finite amount of mental energy.

One famous study highlighted how judges made more favourable rulings earlier in the day, with their decisions becoming harsher as the day went on.

To combat decision fatigue, try making important decisions early in the day when your mind is fresh…

And simplify your routine to reduce the number of trivial choices you need to make.

Remember, every choice you make is an opportunity to level up. Embrace the power of your decisions and watch how they transform your life.
