Reduce choice - by having fewer decisions to make you free up space for more important things.

I once heard that Barack Obama kept just two suits - grey or blue - meaning that he could just choose one or the other and get onto more important decisions. Steve Jobs just had one outfit. What they were doing was taking a few decisions out or simplifying them so that they could avoid losing any mental energy on them. I’ve been doing the same by organising my week in such a way that I don’t face decisions about what to do on any particular day. I’ve also reduced my wardrobe! Applying this principle to various parts of our lives really can make space for other things, and reduce the decision fatigue that seems to be overwhelming so many of us. Go get unstuck!
