Decision fatigue > procrastination: My 4-week battle building discipline through auto-choices [long journey]

"This sub's 'popcorn brain' and 'lost 5 hours to TikTok' posts mirror my life exactly. But decision fatigue was my real enemy—worse than laziness because it feels productive (endless planning) but kills execution. Real numbers: Last month, tracked 47min daily deciding breakfast alone. Total week = 5+ hours lost before 9 AM. Tried Atomic Habits quadrants, Pomodoro, even monk-mode fasting. Nothing stuck because CHOICE itself drained willpower. Week 4 building web app fix: Dashboard with burnout quiz → 'input dilemma' → instant pick with logic ('Tea: Better for focus'). From my faceless TikTok carousels teaching burnout tips (max 300 views), learned people desperately want systems for this. Current struggle: Coding randomizer logic tonight. Poll: What's YOUR decision fatigue monster? A) Morning routine (53%) B) Work task priority C) What to eat D) Evening 'one more episode?' Not selling—validating before Product Hunt.
