I really appreciate this piece! It resonates with me on multiple levels. Especially the first two sections, regarding decision-making. Many people don't realize the magnitude of this psychological dilemma, individually and societally. So much so that it's been dubbed "decision fatigue"--the mental and cognitive exhaustion from having made so many decisions that your mental resources are depleted. As a result, you can't think clearly, nor can you make sound decisions.
Our world is so fast-paced and instantaneous that perhaps people assume endless decision-making is an inevitability. But there are things you can do to change it, at least in your own sphere. Exactly what you touched on here! Very useful advice; simple steps that anyone can take to improve their mindset. I will be keeping these in mind as I seek to declutter my mind :)

Thanks Alexandra! Indeed people think the decision "tank" is infinite. But we can't beat this kind of imposed limitation by mother nature.
Was there a moment in your life where you realized too many decisions were affecting your ability to make good ones?
