On this episode Ariel and Roger talk about all or nothing (black or white) thinking and how decision fatigue is affecting it. A black or white thinking refers to thinking in extremes. It is not serving us as it limits our options and changes our relationships with other people. Your hosts will show you how you can get over “all or nothing thinking”. Quote of the week is by Robin Conley Downs: “The truth is, it’s not about willpower, it’s about reducing decisions”.

Key Takeaways:

  1. All or nothing thinking results in limiting our options.
  2. Two steps to reducing “all or nothing thinking”: self-awareness and self-management.
  3. Reduce the number of decisions you have to make in a day to prevent decision fatigue.
  4. One of the ways to get over “all or nothing thinking” is by executing, trying and experimenting on things you think you’re not good at.
  5. Be aware of your behavior as well as of the things you say (indicator words) that might indicate you are a black or white thinker.
