Back in 2014, Barack Obama declared that he only focused on making the most-important decisions.\u00a0 \u201cI don\u2019t want to make decisions about what I\u2019m eating or wearing. Because I have too many other decisions to make,\u201d he\u00a0explained<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is understandable. Sometimes we find ourselves beset by the decisions, big and small, that we think have to make on a daily basis. But there is only so much time for making choices \u2013 and many of them are too small and unimportant to spend significant time on in the first place.<\/p>\n

Unlike the rest of us, of course, Obama has a staff who know him so well that they can guess his food and clothing preferences. But with two steps, we can all let go of many mundane decisions and simplify our lives for the better.<\/p>\n

Automate it<\/h3>\n

Just admit it: For most of us, lunch is just lunch. Sure, you may take an occasional meeting over soup and salad or meet up with your spouse at noon for some time away from the children. But most of the time, you are eating some kind of sandwich with water at your desk while answering another drive-by.<\/p>\n

Yet you spend precious minutes deciding what sandwich to eat or even where to go to pick it up, even when you know full well that you will either end up at the same place or pack the same meal into your bag. Why waste time on it?<\/p>\n

Lunch isn\u2019t the only area of your life in which the best decision is no new decision at all. From the kind of outfits you wear during the work week, to the style the report must be written in, to the temperature of the bedroom while you are sleeping at night, there are plenty of mundane tasks that don\u2019t require much in the way of rethinking. You should automate those tasks and get them off your mind.<\/p>\n\t\t
