🧠 Why Indecision Is Draining Your Brain
Every unresolved decision stays alive in your brain like a pot left on a hot stove.
Imagine a kitchen with 100 gas burners. Every time you leave a decision unresolved, you light another burner. Most of us keep adding pots "just in case" until our brain is working overtime managing all of them.
The real cost of indecision is not making the wrong choice - it is the mental energy it drains every single day.
Skilled decision-makers keep very few things in the "I don't know yet" bucket. They know that leaving decisions open is expensive.
Key takeaway: Indecision has become our default response to almost everything. The problem is not indecision itself - it is using it lazily for everything, which leaves too many things spinning in your head at once.
