THE FEWER THE GOALS, THE GREATER THE RESOLVE Of course, that approach works only if you don’t need to ask yourself multiple questions. The more goals you try to achieve at one time, the more questions you need to ask yourself. More questions make the decision waters murkier. Murkier decision waters lead to greater decision fatigue and, as you know, overcoming decision fatigue requires willpower. Willpower is a finite resource; the fewer decisions you make, the less willpower is required. Create the right environment and willpower isn’t even necessary.
