Technology creates decisions, but it can also eliminate them through smart automation.
Notification Automation - Turn off all non-essential notifications - Schedule "do not disturb" hours - Batch notification checks 3x daily - Auto-filter emails into folders
App Organization - Page 1: Daily essentials only - Page 2: Weekly use - Page 3+: Monthly or archived - Delete apps that create more decisions than value
Content Curation - Unfollow accounts that don't add value - Use "mute" features liberally - Create focused lists/feeds - Schedule specific times for consumption
Password/Security Automation - Password manager for all logins - Biometric authentication where possible - Auto-fill for repeated forms - Standard security question answers
Rachel eliminated 200+ daily digital micro-decisions through these automations, reclaiming 90 minutes of productive time.
