Wildiris Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Dear-Loved-One came home last night to tell the family about a report he heard on the radio about decision fatigue. The topic has been around for a while; nonetheless, it is an interesting read. It helps explain why most go on autopilot at the end of the day, why supermarkets have sweets at the cash register, and why diets are so darn hard. Do You Suffer From Decision Fatigue?

*Lulu* Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Yes! It is why I spend weeks prepping math curricula and go meh by the time I get to science or nature study. I am all decision-ed out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs. A Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I'm pretty sure Charlotte Mason said that making decisions is one of the greatest efforts in life. I guess that's why she was so big on habit training. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. A Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I just realized that this is probably why I hate menu planning so much! (can't believe it's taken me so many years to figure that out! :rolleyes: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ausmumof3 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I reckon this is why I like fruit and vege boxes. Instead of deciding what to buy and make I just get to work out what I can do from a limited range of options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 It may be why I have come to prefer shopping at Aldi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tohru Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Goodness! Yes! When I do have to make a decision, I go back and forth several times before giving up and not deciding anything. It is so overwhelming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasider Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Yes! I know when I have reached that point. I could send up a flag the moment it happens. Unfortunately I also know and can become quite frustrated with some family members who seem to suffer chronically from indecision. I would like to think there's a distinction between the two (decision fatigue vs chronic indecision). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
