Hey,
it’s Marc.
A few weeks ago
I stood in front of my refrigerator for almost two minutes.
Not because there was nothing to eat.
Because I couldn't decide what I wanted.
Sounds ridiculous.
I know.
But that moment made me realize something.
It wasn't about food.
It was about fatigue.
Mental fatigue.
The strange thing was
I had not done anything physically demanding that day.
No workout.
No long hike.
No hard labor.
But my brain had been making decisions
since the moment I woke up.
What to prioritize.
What to answer.
What to postpone.
What to create.
What to ignore.
Hundreds of small decisions.
Most of them invisible.
This is something neuroscience has known for years.
Your brain has limited decision making resources.
Every choice consumes energy.
Even tiny ones.
And when those resources run low
simple decisions start feeling harder.
Not because you're incapable.
Because your brain is trying to conserve energy.
That's why people often make worse decisions
later in the day.
Not because they suddenly became irrational.
Because they're mentally depleted.
What helped me
I started simplifying.
Fewer unnecessary choices.
More routines.
More systems.
Less constant evaluation.
The result surprised me.
I felt calmer.
Clearer.
And I had more energy
for the decisions that actually mattered.
The lesson
Not every decision deserves your attention.
Some things are better automated.
Repeated.
Simplified.
Because every unnecessary choice
steals a little energy
from the things that truly matter.
So if everything feels harder lately
don't immediately assume you're unmotivated.
Ask yourself:
"How many decisions has my brain already made today?"
You might discover
that what feels like laziness
is actually exhaustion.
Stay sharp
