How do you deal with decision fatigue?”
“”
“Indy Neogy raised this question in his Mind Atelier newsletter this week, and as I reflected on it, I connected it to Daniel Kahneman’s conceptions of Systems 1 (quick intuitive emotional response) and 2 (slower effortful conscious rational thinking) from his book Thinking Fast and Slow. Kahneman claims that we will default to using System 1 unless we consciously slow down and engage System 2’s conscious rationality. But since System 2 is effortful, the more we are depleted, the more we default to our immediate instinctive response from System 1. ”

“So one way to make better decisions is to keep ourselves fueled up so we can access our System 2; this includes sleeping well, eating well, exercising, connecting with friends and family, etc. ”
“”
“We can also use our System 2 to train our System 1 intuitive responses to make the “right” decisions. This can happen through designing habits for ourselves that we do automatically, or by deliberately practicing a skill until we move it into unconscious competence. An organizational equivalent is to share principles and values that are designed to make decision making consistent and repeatable across the organization. ”
