Decision Fatigue Reduction Protocol — privacy-safe setup in Perplexity

Optimized for retrieval with sources, which suits checking a claim more than running a loop.

A sourced answer is still an answer to the question you asked. The framing is yours to get right.

Do this first. Use it for the factual half of the question, then take the answer into whatever runs your execution loop.

Do not do this. Running a daily operating loop in a retrieval tool. It will answer, and the answers will not accumulate into anything.

Decide in advance what does and does not go into a tool you do not control. It runs on one trigger: before the first session, not during one.

When this framework is the right one. Use it when the decisions that feel hardest are small ones, which is the usual sign that the count is the problem rather than the difficulty.

  1. List the decisions you made yesterday that you also made the day before. Those are the recurring ones.
  2. For each, write a default: what happens unless something specific overrides it.
  3. Write the override condition too, so the default is a rule rather than a rut.
  4. Re-decide only when the override condition fires, and review the defaults on a fixed schedule rather than continuously.
