A decision too far?

Why is it that on some days we find it easy to make decisions and on others we struggle to think what to eat for dinner?  Some choices might be incredibly simple, and others leave us baffled about what to do for what seems like hours.  And why does the chocolate at the supermarket till seem to speak to us more insistently than in other places?In this episode I explore what might be going on for us when we are finding ourselves overwhelmed with the decisions we need to make and what we can do about this.  We also discover when the best time is for me to be making matchstick models and learn why you might be getting socks from me at Christmas.Here are the highlights of this episode:(2.39) Decision fatigue is different from mental fatigue(3.24) The id, ego and superego(4.25) Ego depletion(7.41) Decisions with far reaching impactConnect with Julia:WebsiteLinkedInInstagramABOUT THE PODCASTThe Dynamics of Everyday Life explores the psychological patterns shaping how we think, work and relate to others; bringing psychodynamic thinking into coaching, leadership and everyday life.If you're a coach interested in learning more about psychodynamic approaches to coaching, you can explore Julia's training programmes on her website.FOLLOW THE PODCASTIf you're enjoying The Dynamics of Everyday Life, follow the podcast on your listening app so you don't miss future episodes.
