Decision Fatigue

Melina Palmer

Decisions are everywhere — we are making them all day long. Even if you know you are making a lot of decisions, you probably don’t grasp the full weight of them. Think about yesterday, how many decisions can you remember making? How many decisions do you make on an average day?

Research shows that people make 35,000 decisions every single day! 

Can you believe it? Clearly, the bulk of those are done subconsciously as we couldn’t exist if we had to do all of those on a conscious level. So, how do we make better decisions? What happens when we make too many decisions? Is there a point in the day when we have hit our decision number and it’s all downhill from there? Or is there an opportunity to recharge those batteries and have a second wind? 

When do we reach the point of decision fatigue and what can we do to avoid it? That’s what this episode is all about. This refreshed episode originally came out on Christmas day, 2020 (at the end of a year full of decision fatigue). It includes tips for making better decisions around the holidays and is useful all year round. Ready to optimize your decisions? Listen in…
