Edition #9: Stop Making Decisions

📌 Here's What's Up:

• ✅ Why mental fatigue starts before 8AM

• ✅ Cut decisions, sharpen your mornings

• ✅ Get Better At Work: Less choice = more focus

• ✅ Featured Morning Routine: Zuck’s “Minimal Start”

• ✅ Stoic Reset: Spend your energy where it matters

• ✅ To-Do List: Build your frictionless stack

🔥 Motivation: Your Brain is Overloaded Before Breakfast

💡 Takeaway:
Maybe you don't need another time-blocking technique. Maybe you just need to handle your own priorities first.

Those "quick" decisions and inbox fire drills add up, draining you early in the day.

Take care of what moves your needle first, and you'll have actual bandwidth left when it's time to help others (if that's your thing).

⚡ Get Sh*t Done: Cut Decisions Before They Cut You

✅ Weekday Breakfast = One Default Meal
Pick it. Stick with it. Boring = fast. Fast = focused. Save the creativity for bigger things.

✅ Pre-Set Your Outfit Tonight
Don’t leave it to morning guesswork. Outfit on autopilot = one less hit to your mental battery.

✅ Know Your First Three Tasks Before Bed
By the time you start working you should know exactly what to tackle first. No morning scrambling, no hesitation.

✅ Automate the Repetitive Stuff
Subscriptions, grocery orders, gym bag packing. Systems are how you scale energy, not effort.

💡 Small decisions aren’t small when they stack.
Every choice you eliminate frees up more focus for what actually moves you forward.

🚀 Get Better At Work: Fewer Choices, Sharper Focus

• 🧠 You only get so many clear decisions a day.
  Burn them on breakfast or scrolling, and you show up to work already depleted.

• 🛑 Micro-decisions destroy momentum.
  Context switching, rechecking, redeciding, it all pulls focus like a leaky faucet.

• 📉 Overchoice leads to underperformance.
  High performers don't waste effort deciding, they direct it.

📌 Pro Tip:
Simplify what doesn’t matter so you can dominate what does.

🏆 Featured Routine: Zuck’s “Minimalist Start”

Mark Zuckerberg famously wore a simple uniform: gray T-shirt, hoodie, jeans. Same gear, every single day. Like WTF?

🧥 No outfit decisions
🥣 Predictable mornings
📋 Focused brainpower reserved for bigger challenges

✨ Our Take:
Zuckerberg's goal wasn't fashion and thinking he was “hot” - it was energy preservation.

By removing small choices, he kept his mental firepower aimed where it mattered (replacing MySpace & becoming a Billionaire).

🧠 Stoic Reset: Choose Less. Live More.

💭 Reflection:
You don’t need to master everything. Just master what matters. Stop wasting energy on the rest.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - Know Your Stuff & Know The Right Stuff.
