1. Track Your Decisions: For the next 24 hours, make a quick note of every decision you face, no matter how small. Don't judge or try to change anything—just observe.
2. Identify Your Energy Drains: Circle the three categories of decisions that feel most exhausting: wardrobe, food, work tasks, social plans, digital choices, or household management.
3. Pick Your Starting Point: Choose one area from Step 2 to focus on first. This will be your pilot project as you learn the strategies in this book.
4. Set Your Intention: Write down one sentence describing how your life would improve if you could eliminate half the decisions in your chosen category.
5. Commit to the Process: Decide now that you'll give each strategy an honest try before moving to the next. Remember: The goal isn't perfection; it's progress.
