Loop: Decision Fatigue
You’re not indecisive.
You’re exhausted from choosing.
This is not a personality flaw.
This is a loop.
What this loop looks like
You open ten tabs.
You compare endlessly.
You save things for later.
The decision never arrives —
only more options.
Why it keeps happening
Every choice costs attention.
Small decisions pile up:
what to read, what to buy, what to reply,
what not to miss.
Your brain never gets closure.
Only noise.
Why most advice fails
“Just decide faster.”
“Trust your gut.”
“Make a pros and cons list.”
These assume you still have clarity.
You don’t.
You have depletion.
The exit
You don’t need better options.
You need closure.
For the next 48 hours:
- Make one irreversible decision.
- Accept a good-enough outcome.
- Close the rest.
Not forever.
Just long enough to regain clarity.
You don’t need another answer.
