Decision Collapse
Reducing all food decisions to a simple rule, such as not eating during a fast.
Simplifying decisions reduces the need for willpower throughout the day. Instead of negotiating with yourself about food, you follow a clear rule. This creates a sense of structure and removes daily friction. Over time, the rule becomes automatic and easier to maintain.
