Decision Fatigue? Maybe You’re Not Indecisive, You’re Just Indifferent
You know that feeling when someone asks, “What do you want for dinner?” and suddenly your brain flatlines like you’ve just been asked to disarm a bomb in five seconds or less? Yeah. That.
We tend to label ourselves as “indecisive” in these moments. Like we’re broken. Like our inability to choose between sushi or tacos is some deep character flaw that explains why we haven’t finished that project, replied to that email, or figured out our entire five-year plan.

But what if… you’re not indecisive at all? What if you’re just indifferent—because the decision in front of you doesn’t actually matter? This idea comes straight out of my book, Glow Up Yourself, and recently, Nick Hutchison of BookThinkers went on Instagram and called it one of his biggest mindset shifts from the book.
Nick Hutchison’s Favorite Concepts from Glow Up Yourself
Nick calls out this part about decision fatigue: “Chelsea makes a sharp distinction between indecision and indifference… I finally have the language to explain it.”
That moment from page 32 is one of my favorites, too, because it’s liberating to realize you’re not wishy-washy, you’re just conserving energy for what actually matters. I’m honored this book is helping readers (of all genders!) laugh, reflect, and take action in ways that feel real and lasting.
Once you start giving yourself permission to not care about the meaningless stuff, you free up energy for the things that actually move the needle.
“Glow Up Yourself” Is For Women. But Men Can Get A Kick Out Of It, Too 😄
When I wrote Glow Up Yourself, I imagined it as a rally cry for ambitious, rebellious women ready to step into self-trust, self-reliance, and next-level glow-up energy.
But I’ve been delightfully surprised to hear from more and more men saying: “Hey… this hits for me, too.”
In Nick’s Instagram post he shared: “Yes, this book is written for rebellious women, but the advice is powerful for men as well. Chelsea’s writing is fun, heartfelt, and straight up hilarious.” He even pulled some of his favorite takeaways in a swipe-through carousel, and I couldn’t stop smiling at the caption.

Nick’s full caption and thoughts about the book Glow Up Yourself:
“Stop wasting brainpower on meaningless choices. I just finished reading Glow Up Yourself by Chelsea Clarke (@herpaperroute) and I loved it!!! Yes, this book is written for rebellious women, but the advice is powerful for men as well.
Chelsea’s writing is fun, heartfelt, and straight up hilarious. It works whether you are 19 or 90, uncertain or unprepared. In this carousel, I pulled some of my favorite funny moments and life lessons from the first half of the book. Swipe through if you want to laugh, get motivated, and maybe even reframe the way you look at your habits and your excuses. My favorite takeaway so far comes from page 32.
Chelsea makes a sharp distinction between indecision and indifference. I realized that when I do not care to choose between a restaurant or Netflix show it is not because I am indecisive. It is because the decision is meaningless and not worth my mental energy.
That perspective is liberating and I finally have the language to explain it. If you are a man looking for a great introduction to personal development for the women in your life this book makes a fantastic gift. It is approachable, motivational, and packed with lessons that will stick.
This book will challenge you, make you laugh, and push you to take action. Remember, action is the real measure of intelligence. Action is how you go from uncertain and stuck to confident and wealthy.” – Bookthinkers.
