Decide Once Principle
The "Decide Once" principle is one of the core Lazy Genius principles created by Kendra Adachi. It helps sidestep decision fatigue by clearly choosing what you'll do in a given situation—just one time.
Identify areas where we're constantly using up brain power reinventing the wheel, deciding over and over again—then choose to simply decide once and stick with it.
By pre-deciding routine matters, you preserve mental energy and time for decisions that truly matter. The trickle-down effect of deciding once is significant—making these small decisions (once) will save you so much time and headache in the future.
The Lazy Genius approach is: "be a genius about the things that matter and lazy about the things that don't…to you." This principle works together with other concepts to create sustainable routines that reduce mental load and focus energy on what truly matters.
Free principle available through books, podcasts, and blog content by Kendra Adachi.
