From the seemingly simple task of choosing an outfit to the daunting challenge of purchasing a portable sauna, my experiences reflect how perfectionism and over commitment only add to the stress.

But there's hope for escaping this cycle. Tune in to uncover effective strategies that help lighten the load of decision-making. Discover practical tips like preparing outfits in advance, batching tasks, and scheduling important decisions when your mind is at its peak.
