Decision friction slows execution more than lack of effort.
When every step requires another choice, systems stall. Energy drains. Momentum disappears.
Decision friction usually appears as:
- Too many options
- Unclear next steps
- Repeated daily choices
Operational systems remove unnecessary thinking. Standards replace constant decision-making.
When a process is clear, execution becomes automatic.
Less friction means more movement.
Maintenance Action:
Identify one recurring decision you make every day and replace it with a fixed rule.
