Ever been late for work because it has taken you half an hour to figure out what to wear? Ever found yourself eating yet another girl dinner because working out what to cook is just too much? Then you know how debilitating decision fatigue is, but with a few tweaks to things such as your kitchen storage ideas or how you organise your wardrobe can help ease it and make your day a little bit brighter.
Neuroscientist Dr Tara Swart explains, ‘When we wake up, we have a finite amount of decision-making power which gets eroded by every decision we make. Eventually, we have limited resources to make decisions and we feel tired. We may have had an intention to clean the house but then feel too tired to do so. Putting this off feels demotivating and the environment remains not clean for longer, which we don’t feel good about.’
