When I had to start making fashion decision for work, I simply put all my suits, shirts and ties in a steady rotation. In the morning I just grabbed the next item in the closet. In the ’90s, when I left the corporate world, I simplified even further and switched to a black jeans and black shirt uniform. I’ve pretty much stuck with that since.
Years later, while reading Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength by Roy Baumeister and John Tierney, I discovered that my strategy actually backing from empirical research. We each have a finite amount of will power each day that once used up, is not easily replenished. Wasting that resource on what trivial decision such as daily fashion decisions is professionally suicidal.
I’d love to hear from women on this strip.
