Some great points Tim, especially like the Steve Jobs clothes example. So much of these things are easier said than done (to state the obvious) and require a certain amount of willpower. I once read about the so-called high-flying executives who eat the exact same thing for lunch every day to reduce decision fatigue and my first thought was 'no way, I can't do that, I love variety!' Then I realised with a bit of planning, as you and your wife do with meals, you can indeed vary your meals and still avoid decision fatigue, right?
For me, unfortunately...no! (haha) I definitely suffer from this, I'm one of the world's most indecisive people, and when it comes to meal planning I'm hopeless. I kind of wander round the supermarket to see what's on sale, what strikes me fancy. To each their own, I suppose. (this will be the subject of a future post - a decision making/money saving/recipeless life hack that works for me).

Very thought-provoking, thanks!
