Do you ever feel like your love of learning turns into procrastination? I get itāI'm a professor, a teacher, and growth-minded to my core. But sometimes, all that learning keeps me from taking action or making decisions. Iāve realized that decision fatigueāthat overwhelming mental drain from too many choicesācan leave us stuck, impulsive, or scattered.
In this episode, I share how goal setting has been a game-changer for reducing decision fatigue in my life. When we set clear, intentional goals that align with our values, we eliminate the guesswork, prioritize what truly matters, and save energy for the things that deserve it. Clarity creates focus. Priorities simplify choices. And frameworks, like my āword of the year,ā make decision-making faster and easier.
If youāre tired of feeling overwhelmed by decisions, this episode is for you. Letās simplify, get clear, and take action. Youāre going to love this!
