Decision fatigue is exactly what is sounds like--after so many micro and macro-decisions you have to make daily, you.are.done.

  1. What does this do to the body?
  2. What does this do to the mind?
  3. How does this contribute to burn-out?
  4. How does this affect relationships outside of work?
  5. And what can you do about it?

There are many professions that deal with decision fatigue--teachers, air traffic controllers, surgeons, judges, and financial planners. 

You will note that 100% of these are high pressure, high stakes jobs.

Parents and caregivers are also prone to decision fatigue.

Take heed—decision fatigue reduces your ability to make good decisions until you can rest.
