Listen Later

Decision-making can feel exhausting. Even the smallest choices can lead to procrastination, perfectionism, and self-doubt. In this episode of The Minute Mastery Podcast, Ngozi Edema explores why decision fatigue keeps so many of us stuck and breaks down Jeff Bezos’ One-Hour Rule, a simple framework that helps you decide faster without stress.

If you’ve ever delayed a project, overthought a small choice, or felt overwhelmed by “what ifs,” this episode will help you shift from hesitation to momentum.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why even simple decisions can feel emotionally heavy
  • How procrastination, perfectionism, and self-doubt are connected
  • The difference between reversible and irreversible decisions
  • What Jeff Bezos’ One-Hour Rule really is, and why it works
  • How to get the right facts without over-researching
  • A practical way to stop delaying and start taking action

This episode is especially helpful for busy moms, entrepreneurs, authors, and creatives who want clarity without burnout.

Listener Challenge:

Think of one decision you’ve been avoiding.
 Ask yourself: Is this reversible?
If yes, give yourself one hour to decide, then move forward and adjust as needed.
