Decisions, Decisions! They Will Sap Your Happiness

Navigating the maze of daily choices, like selecting a toothpaste from a sea of options, can feel overwhelming. Ever found yourself in the toothpaste aisle, puzzled over choices like plaque fighting, whitening, or even honey garlic flavour? It's just one of the many decisions we face every day, starting right from choosing an outfit from the endless combinations in our closet.

The decisions don't stop there. Contemplating whether to have coffee at home, grab it on the way, or wait for Carol at the office to brew a pot? And let's not even start on lunch options – salad, soup, sandwich, or a combo? These choices might seem trivial, but each one chips away a bit more of our mental energy.

By mid-afternoon, decision fatigue sets in, leaving us drained and less capable of making sound choices. Ever found yourself at dinner time without a plan, resorting to grabbing a pizza because you forgot your wallet for groceries? Yes, it's an exaggeration, but it paints a clear picture. And while we're on the subject of regrettable decisions, let's not forget about that time I wore a mauve ruffled shirt with puffy sleeves to a biker bar. A clear case of decision fatigue leading to a fashion faux pas.

The point is, with around 35,000 decisions facing us daily, it's vital to streamline and form habits that ease this cognitive load. Otherwise, we might find ourselves overwhelmed by even the simplest choices.

As I eagerly await the release of my new book, "Happiness: The 40% Solution," excitement and hope bubble within me. This book isn't just a compilation of ideas; it's a journey I've crafted, thinking of each of you. I invite you to join me in this adventure of discovering happiness and well-being. And here comes another decision to make - will you dive into its pages in paperback, embrace the convenience of digital, or cherish it in hardcover? Whatever you choose, I hope it brings you joy. If you've found comfort, inspiration, or happiness in my writings, I urge you to share this post. Let's spread the word about "Happiness: The 40% Solution" and make positivity and kindness viral this year!

"Navigating the maze of daily choices, eh? That sounds about right! Sometimes it feels like we're making decisions all day long, big and small. For anyone feeling a bit overwhelmed by choices or maybe even considering studies in psychology or decision-making at a university, here's a link with some info on university costs: <a href="https://jakarta.telkomuniversity.ac.id/en/how-much-does-public-vs-private-college-cost/">Telkom University Jakarta</a>. Hope everyone can find their way through that maze, eh?"
