Why is New Beginnings important for you in Seattle?
Have you ever felt paralyzed by the fear of making the 'wrong' choice? Perfectionism is often just fear in a fancy suit.
We hesitate because we want to avoid mistakes, but in that hesitation lies the biggest mistake of all: standing still. High-performers don't always choose correctly, but they choose quickly and adjust as they go. Life rewards 'Speed of Implementation.' An average idea that is put into action today will outperform a brilliant idea that doesn't start until next year.
Every undecided choice takes up 'mental RAM' in your brain, cluttering your focus and creating stress. Making a decision—any decision—clears that memory and frees you to move forward. Today, give yourself permission to start imperfectly.
Clarity is a results of action, not a prerequisite for it. Research on 'Decision Fatigue' suggests that our cognitive resources are limited; by automating or speeding up small decisions, we save our mental energy for the high-stakes moments that truly define our path.
The Mechanism
Decision-making is a metabolically expensive process (decision fatigue). Fast, heuristic decisions can reduce cognitive load on the prefrontal cortex. Conversely, chronic indecision keeps the brain's 'salience network' in a state of high alarm, which can exacerbate anxiety and mental fatigue.
Daily Execution Protocol

- ACCEPT 'GOOD ENOUGH' Commit to 80% quality as your starting point. You can always optimize and polish once you are already in motion.
- BUILD THE MUSCLE Practice making small, trivial decisions (like what to eat or wear) in under 10 seconds. Train your brain to be decisive.
