Have you ever faced decision fatigue?




Day 63

What should I decide?
One of the hardest decisions that I have made in my life was to leave a comfortable job and shift my settled career in the pursue of a new career search. This decision included plenty of uncertainty and decrease in the financial status. Ideally shifting to a new career incorporates approximately three to four years of career investment to earn a career growth. The course in the pursuit of the dream career included many challenging decision-making process that at times created a syndrome the decision fatigue.

So here is my question: Have you ever faced decision fatigue?

On an average day, we make hundreds of decisions. The severity of these decisions can range from simple decisions like what to eat, what to wear, to many complex financial decisions. What is the relationship between decision-making to mood of the person? What is the formula of an experience decision-making? Does the ratio between the good decisions and bad decisions play an direct correlation to the decision fatigue syndrome? 

What are the cycles of mental strain a human process through decision-making? The amount of decisions processed in a day has a direct relationship to the quality of decision-making. The numerous decision-making incorporates the phase of restless brain that causes the human to take shortcut methods to obtain the results. Does the overload of decision-making create the brain to stop functioning causing a decision fatigue syndrome? 

The element of decision fatigue has the potential to create depletion in the mental energy. The biggest challenge in the depletion of the mental energy is that it is normally undetected and confused for another symptom. Reduced mental energy has the probability to effect the physical energy of the human being.
