Introverts and Decision Making: The Struggle with Decision Fatigue

September 4, 2023

In this episode, I’m discussing the topic of decision fatigue – and in particular how it affects introverts. I’m sharing my own experiences and insights, drawing from my background as an air traffic controller. 

I’ll explore the meaning of decision fatigue, its impact on decision-making, and whether it is a skill that can be learned. 

This episode marks the start of a mini-series on this topic, inspired by a client discussion. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of decision fatigue and its unique implications for us introverts, and how you can eliminate it in your life and business!

I discuss:

  • What is decision fatigue?
  • Why, and how, some of the world’s brightest people avoid ‘unimportant’ decisions 
  • Energy, and how it’s affected by decision-making. 
  • Why building systems around your decisions is key
  • Keeping decision making to a minimum (and how this can impact your long term success
