Decision fatigue is why I don’t like grocery shopping. It feels like a weekly decision-a-thon. Admittedly because I was focusing on getting the best value on every item. . . maximizing quality and minimizing cost. I’ve made it easier by adopting Ramit Sethi’s philosophy about spending: Pay for quality on the things I care about and cut costs on everything else. I get my fancy Greek yogurt and get the cheapest frozen peas and I’m satisfied!

For big decisions I lean toward alignment. I did some reflection to articulate my values and staying grounded in them has eased the anxiety that can come with tough decisions. I shared the exercise I used (and that I’ve used with others) in this post.

The struggle is real Jonathan, you should see my tea cupboard 😂, and I can never decide what I want to eat and if I think about it, 70% of my day is spent on unproductive decision making on things that are so trivial and I wind up skimping on the important things. Thank you for sharing!
