Reduce Decision Fatigue Through Structure






Shaun Kober: Everything you just said then is really important for the audience to take in and appreciate, and then maybe draw some parallels into their own lives.


You have so much stuff going on. You talked to me offline about all the things that you're not doing at the moment that you've had to put on the back burner, right?


Because your number one priority is obviously with your clients, but then moving everything online. And you're literally in preparation for two and a half months time when you leave Singapore.


So everything you're doing now is planting those seeds for the future.


Not only are you planting the seeds for the future in two and a half months time, but beyond that as well. Okay. But you're also prepping your week knowing that you are going to be fucking busy!


You knowing that you're getting up early.


You know when you're working with your clients, you know, the sessions that you're getting paid for, that you need to be at. You know when you have time to dedicate towards moving everything online.


You're scheduling in ahead of time when you're going to be training. I'm sure you're scheduling in your mindset coaching. And you're probably scheduling in when you're going to eat, right? I've got 20 minutes here. I'm going to eat at this time, etc. etc.



Shaun Kober (cont.) : So, you know, you're preparing all your meals, and you said you were a creature of habit. You probably have the same shake. You probably have the same fruit, eat at the same time, blah, blah, blah.


That is extremely important, because if you've set up that environment to not have to make decisions around, what am I going to eat? When am I going to eat?


I'm going to walk into the gym. Fuck. What am I going to do today?


No, you already have a plan in place ahead of time, so that you don't have to use all of your energy and your willpower to make decisions, because then we end up with decision fatigue. And when you've got a lot of decisions to make with your work, when you're moving everything online, you know, that takes a lot of energy.


So if your energy is being dispersed with all of these other decisions throughout the day, then you're not going to have that energy to direct towards the things that are actually really important to you, and it's much easier to venture off track and be swayed with more tempting decisions, like easy and convenient fast food options, or sitting on your phone researching a training session, rather than actually doing the work.


Reduce those negative influences by having better options automatically slotted in, so things are seamless. Make good habits the path of least resistance.
