The Psychology of Decision Fatigue: How Busy Professionals Can Protect Their Energy

Every choice you make drains mental energy - from strategic business decisions to small daily tasks. Decision fatigue can lead to stress, impulsive choices, and reduced productivity, especially for high-achieving professionals.

Signs You’re Experiencing Decision Fatigue

1. Difficulty prioritizing tasks

2. Feeling mentally exhausted by small decisions

3. Reactivity or irritability in meetings and at home

4. Procrastination or avoidance of important choices

How to Combat Decision Fatigue

1. Prioritize Decisions: Focus on high-impact decisions first. Automate or delegate the rest.
