Not all decisions are equal. After tracking, analyze which drain you most:
High-Frequency, Low-Impact These are your death by a thousand cuts: choosing podcasts, selecting emoji, picking parking spots. Individually trivial, collectively exhausting. Prime automation candidates.
Low-Frequency, High-Impact Major life decisions: career moves, relationship choices, financial planning. These deserve your best energy but often get your depleted worst. Prime scheduling candidates.
High-Frequency, High-Impact The danger zone: parenting decisions, work priorities, health choices made multiple times daily. These need frameworks and systems most urgently.
