4 WAYS TO COMBAT DECISION FATIGUE
2
1. Simplify The Decisions You Need To Make
During The Day
  • President Barack Obama was in the oval office for
    eight years and only wore blue or grey suits.
    Steve Jobs was well-known for dressing in a
    turtleneck and blue jeans.
  • Their small wardrobe was based on straightforward
    reasoning why start the day by picking what to
    wear when so many other crucial choices are to be
    made?
  • Obama and Jobs decided to streamline some of
    their routine daily decisions, much like a
    soldiers uniform.
  • Others might interpret this as working from the
    exact location each day, adhering to a rigid
    schedule, or maintaining a regular weekly eating
    schedule. You may make more of the decisions
    that will benefit you by minimizing the number
    of decisions you make each day.

2. Appoint Decision-Makers
Just like with tasks, decisions can be delegated.
You can lessen the number of decisions on your
plate by delegating decision-making authority to
others. Think about your obligations at work,
home, and elsewhere. Are there any
responsibilities you can assign to another
person? This calls on you to cease micromanaging
those close to you and to have faith in their
ability to carry out their responsibilities. Mana
gers can delegate some decisions to staff
members. Specific tasks can be assigned to kids
by their parents. There are occasions when we can
assign tasks to our loved ones. Asking a friend
to put up a playlist for a party or asking the
person youre meeting up with to choose the
restaurant for dinner are two examples of how to
do this simply. Delegating well can empower
others and convey your trust in them.

3. Establish A Procedure For Decision-Making
  • Use the determination matrix to help you decide
    what to do when you have to make a tough or
    significant decision when there are multiple
    options to consider. A decision matrix provides
    a list of the options and considerations you must
    evaluate, followed by a score reflecting the
    relative weight of each component to help you
    analyze your alternatives. A decision matrix can
    be quite helpful if you understand how it works,
    even though it may seem confusing.
  • When presented with several options and
    innumerable variables, a decision matrix helps
    reduce confusion and arousal. A choice matrix, as
    opposed to a detailed list of benefits and
    drawbacks, enables you to prioritize each element.

4. Specify A Few Alternatives
  • Too many options will make you anxious. You get
    bogged down in making decisions and start
    doubting your judgment. This typically happens
    while shopping, as many choices and
    possibilities, are offered. Our drive to search
    around and find the best offer makes us more
    prone to decision fatigue. The brain becomes
    overloaded by everything and is drained of
    energy.
  • Try reducing your alternatives so that you just
    have a few options. The value of investing a lot
    of time in researching many options is minimal.
    Although you might be able to save a little
    money, youll experience worry and overwhelmed
    instead. Dont spend too much time weighing the
    advantages and disadvantages choose two or
    three to compare. Make a choice and follow
