A great method to help you track decision fatigue is the spoon theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoon_theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoon_theory.
Basically; start the day with X number of spoons. Every time you make a decision, take away a spoon. Spoons run out? Your day is done!
- drdec 7y agoNow I need to decide how many spoons to start the day with. Am I allowed to use the spoon for the decision of what to have for lunch to eat it or has soup just become much more costly?
- jbob2000 7y agoStart with 7 spoons. Or 8. It doesn't really matter because you just need something to start with, then you adjust it if it's too little (you had more energy after running out of spoons) or too many (you ran out of energy but still had spoons left). It's up to you what you spend spoons on. If you find that deciding what to eat is mentally costly, then yes, spend a spoon. Or set a habit to not make decisions about food and eat the same thing for lunch.
