My New Daily Work Uniform

written by Matthew Rensberry, MD MBA on 2015-12-10

I recently made another decision to simplify my life and avoid decision fatigue. Inspired by the likes of Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs, and President Obama, I now wear the same thing to work essentially every day.

I have a unique body shape that is hard to buy for. I found a well fitting shirt and ordered a total of 6 of them. Now, every day, I am able to dress sharply, without giving much thought to what to wear, and not spend much time or energy getting ready.

As President Obama was quoted in that article I linked to earlier:

"I'm trying to pare down decisions. I don't want to make decisions about what I'm eating or wearing. Because I have too many other decisions to make."

This has been refreshing to live with for the past few weeks. Maybe in the long run I'll tire of it, but for now, I am enjoying my work uniform.
