How 9 Weeks in Mexico Changed My Decision-Making Process


Listen Later

Most people make 35,000 decisions every single day and wonder why they're exhausted by 3 PM. In this episode, Jordan Blake breaks down nine game-changing lessons from 2.5 months in Mexico that'll completely shift how you think about choices, happiness, and what you actually want from life.
🎯 What You'll Discover:
• Why decision fatigue is sabotaging your goals (and the simple fix that works)
• The shocking research on why we're terrible at predicting what makes us happy
• How changing your environment reveals what you really value vs. what you think you should value
• A practical framework for cutting through choice overload without becoming a minimalist weirdo
👤 Perfect for: anyone who feels overwhelmed by daily decisions or suspects they're living someone else's version of success.
Jordan's experience stepping completely outside her normal routine uncovered some seriously counterintuitive truths about decision-making. Turns out judges give harsher sentences later in the day, shoppers make worse choices when faced with too many options, and most of us are walking around on autopilot making choices that don't actually align with what we want.
