Decision Exhaustion: How to Make Better Choices When Your Brain Is Tired
You've already made a hundred tiny decisions—what to wear, whether to answer that email, what to eat for lunch—and suddenly a colleague asks you a simple question. But your mind goes blank. You feel a strange resistance, a heaviness, as if the question itself is a physical weight. This isn't ordinary tiredness. This is decision exhaustion, and it's one of the most underestimated forces working against your clarity, your productivity, and your peace of mind.
This guide isn't another productivity system to manage. It won't teach you how to make decisions faster or the "five types of decision-makers." Instead, it offers a complete reorientation: understanding why decision-making depletes you, how to recognize when your decision capacity is running low, and—most importantly—how to structure your life so that you're making your most important choices when you're actually capable of making them well. You'll learn the Decision Priority Matrix, strategies for low-energy decision-making, and how to conserve your mental energy for what truly matters.
