Why Your Brain Feels Like a Browser with Too Many Tabs Open

The answer may not surprise you.

Hey Friends,

Have you ever had one of those days where your brain feels like an overstuffed suitcase bursting at the seams?

Yeah, me too.

It’s like having 50 tabs open in your browser, and you can't remember why half of them are there.

Welcome to the world of decision fatigue.

Here's the Real Deal with Decision Fatigue

Our brains, incredible as they are, get tired.

They get tired of the endless stream of decisions - from the mundane (like picking a Netflix show) to the monumental (strategic business moves).

And here's the kicker: each decision chips away at our mental energy, leaving us drained and less sharp.

You might not realize it, but you’ll probably make over 100 decisions before you have lunch. (if not more) and each little choice weighs you down over time.

My Own Brush with Decision Overload

Now, with time, I know when my brain is overheating.

It usually starts with my subconscious telling me I have too much going on and that I need to hide in the corner until it’s all over.

Now, I’m an adult, so this isn’t an option.

So, I’ve developed a process to put my brain on ice and close the open tabs in my mind.

I even went as far as cutting my hair down to *almost a buzz cut simply because it’s one less decision I have to make throughout my day.

So you don’t have to be this extreme, let’s break it down.

The Game-Changer: Systemize, Automate, Delegate

I’m sure you’ve heard that saying before.

And if you haven’t, then you are welcome.

What I’ve learned in a nutshell? You gotta systemize.

What do you systemize? I talked about it in my last post.

Think of it as putting the mundane stuff on autopilot. Automate the routine and delegate the rest. It’s like hiring a personal assistant for your brain.

In some cases, that might be actually hiring a personal/virutal assistant.

Because yes, you are saving time, but that’s not the real kicker.

The time you save directly correlates to the number of decisions you make, ultimately leaving you feeling more at peace & ready to go in your day.

The Bottom Line: Leverage Your Brainpower

By systemizing and offloading, you’re effectively clearing your mind's cache.

It’s about making those fewer, bigger decisions from a place of clarity and strength. It's not rocket science, but it sure feels like magic.

The main reason why people don’t take advantage of this tactic:

  1. They don’t know how.

  2. They simply don’t have enough time.

If you’re #2, let’s chat, no strings attached.
