Knock, knock, it’s Tell a Joke Day! 😁 Let’s see who’s there:

• Decision fatigue: What it is and how it impacts your happiness.

• “Lazy girl jobs”: We like the sound of ’em.

• Career choices: The career test that has the answer.

OPINION

Let’s clap for “lazy girl jobs” 👏

If you’re on TikTok, you’ll have probably come across the term “lazy girl jobs”. If not, what this refers to is low-stress, high-paying work — often administrative or middle management roles — that more and more people are starting to celebrate. 👏 And crave.

The people that do hold (and brag about) these jobs have started to look a bit like heroes in the eyes of their followers. They’re fervent supporters of work–life balance and have been inspiring their audience to prioritize their wellbeing… 🧘 And, of course, to quit relying on 9-to-5s for a sense of fulfillment.

These “lazy girls” are not entirely lazy, however; they’re also fans of side hustles. (Okay, maybe ones that require little effort, but who can blame them? It takes a certain level of skill to work smart enough to maintain low stress levels while paying your bills.)

TODAY’S ADVICE

Want to be happier at work? Make fewer decisions

🤔 Decision fatigue is exhaustion from the large amount of decisions you have to make in a day. It results in not being able to make more decisions. At least not good ones.

Of course, some decisions are necessary. Especially in the workplace, where voicing your opinion often feels like keeping a seat at the table. The answer is not to give up on making every decision. Just those that aren’t crucial.

Before committing yourself to weighing in at work, ask yourself the following:

• Is this a high-impact issue?

• Do I have a strong opinion about this?

👉 If the answer is “no” to both of these, then it’s a good sign you can leave the decision-making to someone else!
