1. Creating a Decision Budget

Having a lot on your mind at all times of the day can become extremely stressful and damaging to your health. If you have found yourself in this predicament before then this TED Talk featuring Dave Asprey may interest you. Dave talks about how he was put onto the idea of a “decision budget” from CEO of Coach.com, Tony Stubblebine.

Tony sets a decision budget for himself every day. He allows himself only a certain number of decisions, big or small, and then he “spends” them throughout the day. For this reason, the actions that he takes early on largely determine how he spends the rest of his day. If he uses a lot of decisions early on in the day then he makes sure to save some easier ones for the night when he can unwind.

Using a decision budget can help people avoid decision fatigue, which refers to the deteriorating quality of decisions made by an individual after making too many. Watch Dave’s full talk below!
