Episode 3474:

Tyler Tervooren explores how automating small decisions can free up mental energy for life's bigger challenges. By creating routines and systems for repetitive choices, you conserve willpower, reduce stress, and maintain focus on what truly matters.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.riskology.co/decision-automation/

Quotes to ponder:

"Your willpower is a finite resource that gets depleted as you use it throughout the day."

"When you create systems that handle repetitive choices for you, you’re freeing your mind to focus on what truly matters."

"Automation doesn’t remove decisions from your life; it simply streamlines the unimportant ones."
