Words of Wisdom: Decision Fatigue

Week 20: Decision Fatigue

QuoteParalysis

"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."

— Leonardo da Vinci

"The secret of happiness is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less."

— Socrates

"I make decisions quickly, because I know what matters to me."

— Unknown

"It is not daily increase but daily decrease. Hack away the unessential."

— Bruce Lee


Less isn't just more. Less is freedom.

The people who seem most decisive aren't smarter—they have fewer options to consider. They've already eliminated the noise.


Your simplicity practice:

Today, eliminate one thing from your life. Not add—subtract.

  • Unsubscribe from one email list
  • Donate one item you don't use
  • Remove one app from your phone
  • Say no to one optional commitment

Each thing removed is one less thing to decide about. Each constraint is clarity gained.


Calm Loop Toolkit guides your simplification journey.
