no more decisions please

We have been having some work done to the house, requiring a lot of decisions. Colours of things, types of things, position of things, order of doing things, do we want to do this whilst I'm here things?

Couple this with the early decision making on Christmas, what presents would you like, when should we organise stuff, what do your parents/kids/siblings think they want, when are people coming over?

I'm done. I can actually hear my brain scream when someone asks me to make a decision, it just wants to pop onto standby mode until the question has passed, evidently this is a real thing...

The cognitive scientists have now proven the reality of “decision fatigue” – that every decision you make, little or big, diminishes a limited amount of your brain power. David Allen

Thanks David, my brain power is already quite limited and it is good to hear that decision fatigue is only making it even worse.

I am going to sit for now, under a blanket, hoping that all decisions will go away. If you need me to make a decision just go with the first choice, it is probably the best option.
