Put yourself out of a job. I wrote a bit about it here[0]. It's a bit long, but it also contains links to other posts that may be relevant to you [product, team, alignment, scaling yourself, leveraging your time, communication, roadmaps].
Every single day, you fire yourself because you made yourself redundant. You hire yourself the next day to do something else.
Must the decision be absolutely made by you? If not, delegate. If yes, ask yourself why you're the only one. Are you that special? Find out what's required to make that decision (information, resources, thought processes), lay them out to others, let them poke holes, make the decision. You do that often, they learn how to make them because they have several instances or "cases". Delegate for things that don't have a catastrophic or irreversible consequence. Look for the people who have a track record of making good decisions, delegate to them some more of what you're doing, do something else. Etc, etc.
