Every decision we make diminishes our willpower or gumption or all around energy.
You wonder why you’re so exhausted at the end of the day?
Decisions.
That said, if you were to double click into it: the decisions that diminish us often (and often the most) are the ones we have to make again and again.
Hitting the snooze button five times diminishes us more than just doing what we set the alarm or notification for.
Deciding to get to the hardest task after this easy one…but then after the next easy one…but then after the next easy one… diminishes us more than if we just did the hardest task first.
The examples are endless, but deciding to list them all out would be yet another example of decision diminishment.
