From the moment we wake up each day, we're faced with a continuous stream of choices. when there are too many options. This is called decision fatigue （疲劳）a state of mental overload that can impede（妨碍）our ability to make additional decisions..
When decision fatigue kicks in, you may feel like you just don't have the mental energy to deal with more decisions. .As a result, you avoid making certain choices entirely, go with the default option or make ones that aren't in line with your goals or values, experts say.

Be watchful of signs of decision fatigue and act accordingly: if you've had a demanding day that was filled with lots of decisions, put off making another one if you can. If things that wouldn't normally upset you start bothering you, consider it a sign that you may not be in the best state of mind to make a major decision. "People may not realize that they're experiencing decision fatigue," Baumeister, a professor of psychology at the University of Queensland in Australia, says.
