Would you believe using the same mug and sitting in the same seat can make you more present for the decisions that actually matter? We unpack an article arguing that small routines reduce decision fatigue, letting you focus fully on big choices and other people, while Courtney admits she keeps “fictional problems” open and gets overwhelmed by endless micro-decisions. We pivot into a debate sparked by Courtney’s therapy “Clarifying Your Values” bullseye worksheet where she lists values she’s working toward across work, relationships, health, and leisure (authenticity, leadership, check-ins, acceptance, balance, disconnecting from tech), while Danny argues real values are umbrella principles, especially honesty, that should automatically guide choices without needing “goals” to check off. We tease a next episode using scenarios to test values in action.
