014: The Power Of Pre-Decision With Teresa McCloy

Have you ever considered how much time and cognitive reserves you could save... if you "pre-decided" on a select number of important decisions in your life?

Apparently, this quest for efficiency was behind the late Steve Jobs penchant for black turtleneck sweaters, and why you see Mark Zuckerberg only in hoodies.

But when Teresa McCloy reintroduced me to this provocative concept earlier this year, we decided to unpack this in more detail during my latest podcast episode on "The Power of Pre-Decision".

When we look at our calendars ahead of time and pre-determine what we say yes to, we can free our brains from burning out on last-minute decisions. By scheduling the things that matter most to us, we ensure that we will do them, and allow for more moments of freedom and creative energy.

Ultimately, instead of focusing on what we think we should do, we will do what we want to do, and be happier as a result.

As the author of the book, Do What Matters, Teresa, believes work is not about how much we get done - but why we’re doing it. Drawing from her past as a workaholic, Teresa shares her insight on being productive in a meaningful way!

Quotes

  • “Our most creative ideas, our best thoughts, the up on the balcony view that I often talk about, comes in renewable energy.” (6:40-6:50 | Teresa)
  • “We need to make decisions throughout the day and have great brain power, but that's going to go away. So the more things we can pre-decide, the better.” (14:00-14:09 | Teresa)
  • “Get up on the balcony three or four times a year, on a retreat or a weekend or a day-long thing to pre-decide as much as you can.” (17:08-17:17 | Teresa)
  • “​​Learning to notice the extraordinary moments and be grateful for those things, is just one of the spiritual practices that we talk about.” (20:13-20:21 | Teresa)
  • “Every ordinary day has an extraordinary moment. You just have to look for them.” (24:33-24:37 |Teresa)
