Decision Fatigue Lunch Hour

Metaphorical Narrative

Salad or sandwich?
Juice or coffee?
Eat in or take away?
The body feels heavier than the meal itself.

Core Insight

Humans everywhere burn energy in trivial choices. Each micro-decision depletes the same executive fuel needed for real work.

Proof Snapshot: Studies on decision fatigue show too many small choices reduce self-control and increase stress, leading to worse outcomes later.

Liberation comes when Observer slots once. Decide, eat, move on.

Identity Line: I refuse to waste fuel on trivia. Observer chooses once, presence continues.

Saturday Experiment

Pre-decide one meal today.
Notice the energy saved by skipping negotiation.

Sunday Reflection

Where else this week did they burn fuel on micro-choices?
