Is decision fatigue derailing you and your business?
The number of decisions you make in a day can be astronomical.
And this can cause decision fatigue.
Decision fatigue can make us second guess our business decisions, slow us down, and make us feel like we’re missing out on opportunities.
We should have started that project by now…
My best employee has just resigned…
We need more clients but I feel like we can barely manage the ones we have…
This doesn’t make you a bad or unsuccessful business owner.
In fact, the more your business grows and expands, often the more situations you are faced with that require your input.
But if you ever wonder which direction to take, struggle with employee performance, or wonder how you’re going to continue to manage it all, then read on.
Decision fatigue is a state of mental overload that can impede a person’s ability to continue making decisions.
In an article in the American Medical Association website, by Sara Berg, she quotes psychiatrist, Dr. MacLean: ‘Decision fatigue is, “The idea that after making many decisions, your ability to make more and more decisions over the course of a day becomes worse,” said Dr. MacLean, a psychiatrist. “The more decisions you have to make, the more fatigue you develop and the more difficult it can become.”
Her article goes on to state that by the time a person goes to bed, they can make over 35,000 decisions, which can significantly deplete us, making us feel tired, have brain fog, or experience other signs and symptoms of physical or mental fatigue.
When I think about this is the context of running your business, I absolutely have seen this and have experienced it myself.
But, there’s relief.
Experts suggest to streamline (limit the choices), delegate, and stop the second-guessing (make a decision and move on). These are the antidotes to dealing with and preventing decision-fatigue.
This is where having a roadmap designed for your business comes in.
How would it feel to already know where you’re going? To have your decisions streamlined by knowing which path and action to take that will get you to your end result?
And, how would it feel knowing that your end result is building a valuable sustainable asset? An asset that has been designed your way and is just as unique as your business is?
This roadmap will have you feeling more confident about your choices, have the systems in place to foster employee engagement and growth, and give you the peace of mind that you have a plan.
If this is speaking to you, then head over to this page and see how your business could benefit.
NOW is YOUR time,
