If You Eat The Same Breakfast Every Day, You’re More Likely To Succeed In Life. No, Really

Published September 20, 2018

I’m a creature of habit. Even though breakfast is, by far, the best meal of the day, I usually try to keep things on the simple side. Usually, it’s an egg on a piece of toast.  Sometimes, I get wild and throw a tomato slice in there. Y’know — to keep things healthy. If I remembered to buy bagels that week, sometimes the toast gets swapped out. Still, nothing crazy. It turns out that my behavior isn’t as abnormal as I think it is.

Does anyone elses mam and dad watch cooking programmes every night yet make the same 7 meals on repeat ???

My mom has been making the same 8 meals since I was 2 years old, that’s what I call consistency

ExtraCrispy reported that eating the same breakfast on a daily basis might actually help you make better decisions during the day. And no, that’s not because you’re making those choices on a full stomach. They wrote that having to make that crucial “what should I have for breakfast” call in the morning might cause you a little bit of decision fatigue. It’s just one of the many choices you have to make that day, and likely one of the first.

Completely paralyzed by food indecision.

So, say you stick with what you know. Your brain kind of goes on autopilot while you eat, meaning your first big decisions of the day will probably happen at work. And they’ll likely be smart ones.

If you haven’t heard of decision fatigue, just think about your normal day. Chances are, you start work with a clear mind — but by the time 2 p.m. rolls around, you’re grabbing chips and energy drinks as you feel the day slowly crawl by. Part of that is based on decision fatigue. As it gets later in the day, the decisions you make get hazier.

In 2019, I’d like to develop a system where I minimize decision making while optimizing the best end results. 2018 was full of growth but it’s also exhausting due to decision fatigue.

My house looks like the house of a person with decision fatigue. #december

The whole concept might make you think about other things you can put on autopilot. By simplifying your life a little, you may very well notice improvements both at work and at home.
