Decision Fatigue is Real - So Set a Precedent

In law, precedent is everything. It ensures consistency and guides decision-making. But what if we applied the same principle to our business and leadership?

When every moment requires a fresh decision, we’re more likely to default to what’s easy, not what’s effective. That’s why setting decision precedents, predetermined rules for how you delegate, prioritise, and operate, can be a game-changer.

- What emails do you respond to immediately?
- What tasks do you delegate?
- What clients do you say yes to?
- When do you switch off?

The more these answers are systematised, the less energy you waste and the more consistent, scalable, and stress-free your business becomes.

✅ Reduce key-person risk
✅ Strengthen team accountability
✅ Reclaim energy for high-value thinking

Set the precedent once. Let the system run. Then move on to the next.
