Decision fatigue is the mental exhaustion and reduced ability to make choices that occur after a long session of decision-making, leading to poorer choices over time.
When your brain is this overwhelmed, it tends to either shut down (leading to procrastination) or make impulsive, poor choices to get the decision over with.
Every choice chips away at your mental energy. When you've made dozens (if not hundreds) of decisions, your brain's ability to process choices may start to wear down.
This state of mental fatigue occurs because the brain, like a battery, suffers through the depletion of energy with each decision, leaving less capacity for future decisions.
