Decision fatigue

Okay, so imagine you have a big pile of chocolate candies in front of you. You love chocolate candies so much, but you can only eat a certain amount of it before you feel a little sick. This is kind of like decision fatigue!

Decision fatigue happens when you have to make a lot of choices or decisions throughout the day. Just like how you can only eat so much chocolate, your brain can only handle so many decisions before it starts to feel tired and overwhelmed.

For example, imagine you wake up in the morning and you have to decide what to wear, what to eat for breakfast, and what to pack in your bag for the day. Then, you have to make decisions at work or school, such as what tasks to prioritize, how to respond to emails, and more. By the end of the day, your brain is exhausted and you may not want to make any more decisions – like what to have for dinner or what to watch on TV.

This is why many successful people, like Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg, wear the same outfit every day or have simple routines. By minimizing the number of decisions they have to make, they can conserve their energy and focus on more important things.

So, to sum it up, decision fatigue is when your brain gets tired from making too many decisions, just like how eating too much candy can make your tummy hurt. Sometimes, it's good to have a routine or limit the number of decisions you have to make each day to avoid feeling overwhelmed.
