Well it turns out "Decision Fatigue" is really a thing! Stumbled across and article last night on the subject. Guess what, April is stress awareness month. Psychiatrist and Researchers have determined the average person makes 35,000 decisions per day. Also they determined that added stress is a big contributor to Decision Fatigue. Their research is concerned with everyday life and decision making, no mention of RVs or Fulltiming but as we've seen and read RVers / Fulltimers suffer with it. It's why some say they have left Fulltiming. Researchers say Decision Fatigue can lead to lack of energy, impaired judgment, hasty decisions or avoiding decisions all together.
It's a year gone since I first started this thread. The Wife and I are still fulltiming and are still having the time of our lives. We have very little stress in our lives after going fulltime and I think contributes to our happiness. We've pretty much "Unplugged" from the everyday crap, politics, war, social media, worrying about kids, bills, television, taxes, viruses, mask, no mask, vaccines and all the crap that seems to weigh people down. Maybe people just worry about to much stuff?
We planned our big 3 month "Westward Ho" trip starting in May. No big deal, no big stressful exercise, all reservations made, route planned, RV Life Trip Wizard made it easy, the rig is ready for the 4500 mile trip. A lot less spur of the moment decision making when you already have reservations, reducing stress and Decision Fatigue. Yup fuel prices will make it more costly, but we are not stressing about it. We plan to enjoy every second of our trip.
seems to me that if people are feeling stressed out and Decision Fatigue, figure out what is causing it and change it!
We were just streaming the movie City Slickers the other night where Curly says "You city folk worry about a lot of ********". Maybe there is a lot of truth to that?
