Teachers make somewhere around 1,500 decisions every day. That’s about 4 decisions per minute! 

Decision-making consumes quite a bit of energy because of how we spend time imagining the outcomes, the pressure to achieve the desired outcome, and imagining what would happen if we made the wrong decision. 

Imagine going through that process 4 times every minute?

In this episode, we’re talking about the specific ways our decision making can affect our energy and our time management and I’ll share some systems that I’ve used to help me make decisions more efficiently so that I can avoid decision fatigue.

Here are the highlights of this episode:

• What is decision fatigue and how do you avoid it? I share some ways that you can be pre-emptive about decision-making

• Filter questions that you can use to help you clarify and simplify your tasks.

• How using the “minimum viable product” method can help you simplify a task.

• How to create “strategic shortcuts” so that you can eliminate unnecessary decision-making when you do encounter decision fatigue.
