Pingback: ADD ADHD and Decisions — ADD Tip O the Day 638 | ADDadultstrategies
This is a great post! It reminds me of “The Power of Habit” by Charles Duhigg. He talks about some of these studies, but also about a system used at Starbucks where employees were asked to write out very specific responses to situations that may come up at work, like an angry customer. They then practiced these responses to the point where even if they were tired or otherwise distracted, they would automatically go into the “correct” response. We could all benefit from this sort of thing because it could save our willpower for the truly unexpected events.
Thanks for a great blog!

this is a good strategy, to practice how to react to something that might come up. this really works better than just dealing with things from impulse or instinct, and it helps reduce anxiety.
thanks for this suggestion

This was a fascinating post! I shall go away and consider how I routine my life and why and what I consider to be the important decisions I make and which I should put on ‘autopilot’ as you say!

Absolutely fascinating! I am going to try to identify the parts of my life where I can implement some type of routine, eliminating the need for making more decision. One thing I was planning to try was Project 333. This is an internet movement in which you attempt to limit your wardrobe to 33 items for 3 months. At the end of 3 months you can swap items out if you need because of a change in the season. I expect we gals typically put more energy in deciding what to wear than you gentlemen do. This project seems to fit right in with your topic today.
Thanks, and keep up the good work! Pam
