Decision Batching
Cut the number of daily decisions from hundreds to a handful.
What tires you out by the evening is usually not the work. It is the constant stream of small choices around the work. Each one is cheap. None of them are free.
Re-deciding something you have already settled adds friction you do not need, whatever you believe about willpower running out — that idea is far shakier than it is usually presented. Batching moves repeat choices into one block where you make them on purpose, with the information in front of you. What is left in the day is doing rather than deciding again.
Write down the choices, not the tasks
For two days, note every decision you have made before. Meals, replies, what to do next. The list is longer and more repetitive than anyone expects.
Find the ones that come back every week
Anything showing up three or more times in two days is a candidate. These are not important decisions. That is exactly why they should not be eating your attention.
Make them once, on a set day
One block a week. Meals chosen, week planned, standard replies written. It feels boring, which is the right sign. You are taking the boredom once instead of forty times.
Write the answers where you will meet them
A decision you cannot remember in the moment is not batched. It has to be visible where you use it, not stored in your head.
