Decision Constraint


Listen Later

Decisions, decisions, decisions.

We live in a world of plenty…and it's overwhelming.

There are so many options, and so much pressure to make the right choices.

And the sheer number of decisions that we need to make in a given week is mind-boggling.

Think about the time you spend in an average week researching, analyzing, and getting agreement on options.

It's exhausting.

But there is a way to win back some bandwidth and energy, too.

It's the practice of decision constraint.

And it's incredibly effective for anyone feeling bogged down by the weight of the mental load at home (or stuck in analysis paralysis at work).

Try it this week for better balance and more bandwidth.

What You'll Learn:

  • Why having more options doesn't necessarily make us happier or better off

  • What you need to know about how the brain operates, so you can reduce the cognitive load

  • What kinds of decisions benefit from constraint

  • How to implement decision constraint for better balance
