Most people struggle with decision fatigue because they fail to distinguish between minor choices and monumental ones. The architecture of strategic choice requires us to calibrate our mental effort against the potential impact of the outcome.

By organizing our decision process around specific steps, we can protect our mental energy. This means using rapid judgment for reversible actions while reserving deep, evidence-based analysis for consequences that define our professional and personal lives.
