Every decision we make, no matter how small, depletes our mental energy. Psychologists call this decision fatigue, and it explains why even simple choices feel exhausting after a long day. By adopting a minimalist approach—reducing unnecessary choices, streamlining routines, and focusing only on high-impact tasks—we preserve mental clarity for what truly matters.
Minimalist productivity is not about laziness or doing the bare minimum. It’s about working smarter by removing distractions, reducing mental clutter, and focusing only on the tasks that drive real results. Science confirms that when we simplify our workflow, we gain more clarity, efficiency, and ultimately, success.
