Day or night, we keep on making decisions every second of our waking life. It seems you made the decision to read this post. You decided to get your coffee earlier than usual. You chose to take a nap after lunch. You made the choice to react in a certain way to the mail you got earlier.

Whether you want to admit it or not, deciding is, apart from breathing I guess, the thing you do most throughout your life.

This being said, the more the day passes, the more tired you get, the more your decisions start to be lazier and lazier.

There are countless writers who write at the beginning of the day. I am one of those. But obviously there are those days where you cannot and thus it gets pushed to later during the day.

It is in those cases that starting writing gets incredibly complicated. I find ways to push it back juuuust a little more and then again and again.

Some decisions are simple.

What will you wear today? What do you want to eat for breakfast? Do you want to sit down in the parc you are going through on this Saturday?

We often do not even consider the above as actual decisions. They are so “simple” we end up making them on the spot based on our mood of the moment.
