Decision fatigue is a real biological phenomenon. The more decisions you make during the day, the more tired your brain gets and eventually the worse decisions you make.

So when you see that people like Steve Jobs or Mark Zuckerberg wore the same outfit every day to eliminate deciding what to wear. It’s a justification actually backed by science.

However we don’t understand exactly how decision fatigue works.

@carnage4life Nobody will stop me from smelling the roses on my way to work, or taking joy in deciding which outfit I use for the day. Or taking a 5 minute break to look at the sky, or congratulate my fellow coworkers on whatever it is they have pride on having achieved.

Life happens now. If you are always saving yourself to live in the future, you're not living.
