How to Make Decisions Without Losing Sleep (or Your Mind!)

Decision fatigue is real. But there’s a way to make choices that feel right every time and it all comes down to your values.

The Fast Track to Good Decisions

Imagine you’re at a restaurant, staring at a menu the size of a novel. Your brain is frazzled, you’re hungry, and now the waiter is staring at you. Why is picking between pasta and pizza suddenly the hardest decision of your life? Because decision fatigue is real, and if you’re making choices all day that don’t align with your values, your brain is overworked and exhausted.

The secret? Values-based decision-making.

The ‘Hell Yes or No’ Rule

Let’s take a page out of Derek Sivers’ book: if it’s not a ‘hell yes,’ it’s a no. Imagine your friend invites you to an event that doesn’t excite you. If you’re not feeling an immediate ‘hell yes,’ then why force it? Free yourself from the guilt and embrace decisions that energise you.

Marie Kondo Your Life

We’ve all watched Marie Kondo magically transform cluttered homes, but what if you did the same with your choices? Ask yourself: Does this decision spark joy? If not, ditch it. Life is too short to keep making decisions out of obligation instead of alignment.

The ‘Future You’ Test

Picture yourself in five years. Will this decision make you proud, or will you be shaking your head? Future You is watching—don’t let them down!

A Story of Regret-Free Decisions

Remember that time you said yes to something that drained your energy? Maybe it was a job that looked good on paper but felt soul-crushing in real life. Or maybe it was a relationship that ticked all the right boxes except for the part where you actually felt happy. Values-based decisions eliminate this regret.

Living by your values means you get to wake up every day excited about what’s ahead instead of dreading the choices you made the day before.

And that is what it means to make decisions without losing sleep!
