That's roughly how many decisions we make in a day.

From the moment we wake up to the time that we go to bed,

our minds are constantly at work,

choosing one thing after another.

Without realizing it, this constant decision-making might be contributing to why we feel overwhelmed

and mentally drained at the end of the day.

And nowadays, in a world of too much of everything,

Even the simplest decisions can feel complicated.

Just buying groceries, for example.

It can turn into an endless mental debate.

Is this organic?

Am I getting the best deal?

Should I buy the prepackaged ones?

Is there an app for coupons?

Having any kind of choice is a privilege.

I can't imagine a world where the decisions are all made for me.

But maybe we're not meant to have these many choices.

As a minimalist, I'm constantly thinking about the ways

that I can simplify my day-to-day so that I can minimize decision fatigue

and free up mental space for what's actually important to me.

I decided to eat the same thing for breakfast every day day.

I know this might sound strange for some people

and for others maybe this is already a norm

but it's been working out pretty well for me and it's been giving me such a peace of mind.

I tend to wake up pretty late

so I needed to find a way to streamline my morning routine and this was one of the easiest commitments.

It's usually a bowl of oatmeal with some fruit,

an avocado toast and a coffee.

And having this breakfast set in place,

I know if we run out of any of these items

or know exactly what to get at the grocery store when we run out of it.

For lunch and dinner, I do like having a bit of variety.

One day, my husband and I sat down and made a list of all the meals and desserts that we both enjoy.

And every week, we will create a menu based on similar ingredients.

There's less food waste, we save time and money on groceries,

and no more wondering the dreaded question, what should we eat?

If you were a cartoon character,

what outfit would you always be drawn in?

That outfit is probably your uniform.

A uniform is a go-to outfit that reflects your personal style,

something you naturally gravitate towards and wear regularly.

One of the most famous examples of using a uniform to minimize decision fatigue is Steve Jobs with his iconic black turtleneck,

jeans, and the New Balance sneakers.

My summer uniform is linen pants and crop top.

My winter uniform is jeans and a sweater.

This is what I feel like myself in.

And once I figured out what my uniform was my uniform formula,

getting dressed in the morning has become quite effortless.

Also, having a capsule wardrobe and keeping all my seasonally appropriate clothes visible has made my life easier,

but that's a topic for another video.

When we have to make those important decisions in our lives,

I find it helpful to talk it over with a therapist.

The most recent big decision,

moving back to Portugal, was not an easy choice,

but the constant going back and forth was actually draining me mentally more than anything else.

Talking out loud and explaining my reasoning to a licensed therapist helped me to reach a conclusion that I was confident in,

and it helped me to move forward.

What I love about BetterHelp is that it's pretty easy to get started.

You can just go to their website,

answer some questions, and you'll be matched with the licensed therapist,

usually within 48 hours.

I still think the best part is that you can do it from your phone,

computer, or a phone call,

or a video chat, whatever is the most convenient for you.

If you want to try it for yourself,

you can visit betterhelp.com slash malamalife or choose malamalife during the signup process and enjoy a special discount for your first month.

Thank you so much to BetterHelp for sponsoring this video.

The most simple and minimalist way to organize your life is to make lists.

I have a go-to list for pretty much everything.

Music, watch later list, shopping wish list, grocery list, workout playlist.

So when the time comes,

I'm not standing around wondering what I want to watch or what I want to buy,

etc. I can just pull up my many lists where so much of my choices have been already narrowed down.

For example, I haven't had a gym membership in ages because I love working out in the comfort of my own home.

Such an introverted thing to say.

I have saved a bunch of fun workouts on my Instagram and YouTube in different folders for legs,

arms, cardio, dance, or bar,

and I just like to choose whatever I feel like doing that day.

I actually enjoy cleaning, but would I rather be outside filming,

playing with the dogs, or spending time with my husband?

Absolutely.

Life shouldn't be all about maintenance.

It should be about living.

This is why I started to minimize my stuff in the first place.

Our routine got a little bit thrown off with all this moving around,

but in the new year,

my husband and I came up with a weekly cleaning schedule.

He gets the dishes after lunch,

I get it after dinner.

He cleans the microwave and the air fryer, I vacuum and mop.

I know it is not the most exciting topic,

but it's a part of life that we all have to face.

So having a system in place is invaluable for automating the decisions that we don't really want to waste time on.

This sounds obvious, but declutter the choices you need to make.

In other words, minimize or simplify the different aspects of your life so you're not constantly overwhelmed with infinite choices.

There was a time when my vanity was full of different serums

and lotions and tools and makeup and getting ready took

so long because more than half the time I was just going through all the different options.

But really, there is no point in alternating between three different brown eyeliners or having the five shades of similar lip products.

101

Now I mostly have one of each and try to fit everything into one bag.

102

Deciding between two things will always be less stressful than deciding between five,

103

so look around your house and see where you can minimize.

104

You might think you're just eliminating clutter but more importantly you're clearing space for more mental clarity.

105

Mel Robbins' 5 second rule is still one of the most

106

powerful tools for those of us who tend to get stuck in our decision making process,

107

especially as perfectionists.

108

The rule is simple.

109

When you're faced with a decision,

110

you count down from 5,

111

4, 3, 2, 1, and then take immediate action.

112

This really forces me to push past the hesitation and overthinking,

113

and it helps me to break free from the analysis paralysis that often come with trying to make the perfect choice.

114

Of course, we all want to make the best decision possible,

115

but sometimes the most important thing is to make a decision and move forward.

116

The goal is not to live our whole life on autopilot,

117

but to create space for intentional living.

118

So, automate what you can,

119

have a uniform, have a weekly maintenance schedule,

120

organize your life in lists,

121

declutter your choices, and use the 5 second rule.

122

Let me know which one of these rules you want to try out,

123

and I'll talk to you soon in the next video.
