Routines and repetition.

Typically, we end up making hundreds of decisions every day, most of which do not make our life better: what we'll eat (at least 3 times a day), what we wear and so on. The irony is that no matter how many times we repeat them, they persist. Each decision eats up our decision-making bandwidth.

We are so busy making these decisions, using our time, energy and attention, that we are unable to focus on the few important and difficult decisions that really matter. The decisions that lead to a better life.
