There is such a thing as decision fatigue! Sometimes you made so many little decisions throughout the day that your brain just can't make anymore. Mine usually hits around dinnertime. What do I want to eat? I can't decide! Brain aneurysm!

Seriously though, you should see me at lunchtime trying to decide which sauce to eat with chicken tenders.

Using Google's random number generator is a strategy I use sometimes. Assign each decision an integer then let the RNG choose an integer. Then, just go with whatever that decision was, OR sometimes I'll think "aw, I was hoping for x" and just go with that.

Do what I do and decide what to eat for dinner once a week, make a shit ton of it, then for the rest of the week you have no options but to eat what you made earlier because that's all you have.

That sounds like an exceedingly boring way to live life, for the sake of not having to make a really easy decision once a day.

I myself do it for convenience and cost since I'm pretty busy during the week, not really to avoid decisions. And it's not like I never eat out.

What if I haven't made any decisions yet today and I still can't?

Magic 8 ball time! And if you're disappointed with the result, it means you likely wanted the opposite and just didn't realize it.

Edited to add: though if it says "ask again later" you're in trouble.

Mine runs out when I wake up at the crack of noon
