Quote from James A.Hart on July 16, 2025, 9:07 pmIf you’re trying to grow a business, you don’t have unlimited energy.
Your brain only has so much decision-making power in a day — and most entrepreneurs waste it on the wrong things.What to wear.
What to eat.
What to post on Instagram.
Whether to check that one email.
It adds up — fast.The most successful founders know this.
That’s why they aggressively eliminate, automate, or delegate anything that doesn’t move the business forward.Decision Fatigue Is Real (And It’s Costing You Growth)
Every time you make a decision — even a small one — you use up mental energy.
That energy could be better spent on high-leverage activities like:
- Crafting a better offer
- Solving a bottleneck in your team
- Reviewing ad performance
- Closing deals
But instead, too many entrepreneurs start their day with chaos:
Scrolling, outfit decisions, breakfast debates, calendar confusion.When your mind is cluttered with 100 tiny choices, it has no room for the big ones.
The Solution: Create Structure So You Don’t Have to Think
Here’s a simple rule:
Remove decisions you don’t need to make — and build routines around the rest.
- Wear the same or similar outfits daily (no need to overthink fashion).
- Eat the same handful of healthy meals — rotate them on a fixed plan.
- Use pre-set daily schedules to control your time, not your emotions.
- Create internal templates for content, emails, or follow-ups.
- Delegate tasks that don’t require your unique insight.
It may feel “boring” — but in reality, it gives you more freedom.
Freedom from clutter. Freedom to think deeply.
Freedom to finally focus on what really matters.Ask This Every Day:
“What decisions am I still making that I could delete, delegate, or automate?”
If you answer that question consistently, your business — and your mental clarity — will level up faster than you think.
Because small decisions don’t just waste time.
They quietly steal your focus, and without focus, nothing meaningful gets done.
