Do you Suffer from Decision Fatigue? This could Be YOU !
Hi it's your girl Ja Nursing HERE, This post is a guilty post, what's that you ask? well I bought a new jacket today, when I should have been buying winter tires. To imagine JA Nursing in Toronto Streets with out safe tires. Not Cool. Safety is a part of Nursing; Shame on Me.
I'm always late with winterizing my car. The day started with the strong desire to get my tires today BUT I ended up all over the place. First 2 stops Martin grove and Rexdale. I went to 2 tire shops and didn't like the wait time so I left and I ended up at Sears buying a Winter Jacket (Another one). Let it be known I saved $184.00 which still counts as being on the simplistic list. {right} I guess my mind was being practical in thinking if my car breaks down this winter I'll be warm.
Mission failed
I reached home tire less with a new coat! To say the least. I started to do my regular evening social media browsing through Facebook which brought me to and a article; That stated "Successful people wear the same thing everyday." {Excuse me}
I Had to click on it.
It stated that some of the most successful people in the world like Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Albert Einstein And Obama are
I've been on a mission lately to pack and donate most of theses items, but I've gotten so caught up in the decisions of what to keep and what to give away that the task has not been completed .
Hallelujah thankfully The Lord heard my cry And sent this article through my Facebook feed. Find it at the end of this blog.
I have been wondering why it has been so hard to get going with packing up theses clothes. Like, as if figuring out parenting, how I'm going to take care of my patients at work, look after my community responsibilities, blogging, cooking, socializing etc etc etc wasn't enough. Well, the answer is called Decision fatigue, it's noted that Decision fatigue refers to the deteriorating quality of decisions made by an individual, after a long session of decision making.
Packing away theses clothes has been last on my list of priorities. (To be honest). It seems like it's all related to the concept of decision fatigue. This is a real psychological condition in which a person’s productivity suffers as a result of becoming mentally exhausted from making so many irrelevant decisions.
Going back to the article below it stated that our world leaders keep many thinks simple such as their wardrobe, In order to help leave room for important successful decisions.
The article also states, that Decision fatigue can result in not only making fast and careless decisions but can also contribute to decision avoidance, where no decision is made at all. (NoTires)
Imagine if Mark Zuckerberg didn't make the important decision to create Facebook, or If Steve jobs didn't create Apple or if Obama couldn't make his world changing decisions. I don't even want to think about it.
Well, I'd have to say that I'm feeling a lot more clearer; I'm not ready to conform to a personal wardrobe that only includes a uniform like presence, actually that altitude white lie. You see me around the city in my JA Nursing shirts (Uniform) but what I can do is start by packibg up theses extra clothes that are in my sight and donate them NOW.
I'm on my way to clearing my brains. It time for me to kick decision fatigue to the curb so I can continue creating JA Nursing Dreams and Goals leaving behind sense less tasks and thoughts.
Lesson learned
The goal is success, but Inorder to achieve it you have to be focused and Simplistic with decisions that shouldn't take up too much room In your head. I need to stop wasting time with the basic things so I can make room for the big things. You know the saying "Think Big".
