I can’t even decide.

Are You Suffering From Decision Fatigue? (Plus What to Do About It) | Mark’s Daily Apple – Wow. This post really resonated with me. I was going to cherry-pick the best bits, but really, it’s all good. I’ve been flat out at work for the past month – dealing with personal dramas, trying to recruit new employees, and playing multi-dimensional chess trying to work out if my team can achieve our deadlines. Even on my best days, I’m just shattered by the time I get home. I’ve got emails sitting in my Inbox that I could deal with but, you know, I just can’t. My brain is all used up. I’ve always known I work better with rules and routine, so I guess the obvious path here is to get back to that. Remove choice from the easy stuff so I preserve my mental capacity for the times I really need it.

Part of me also wonders if this isn’t the reason the Snook tends to defer so many small day-to-day household decisions to me. He’s shifting that cognitive load onto me! Sneaky.


Important Note

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
