Do you know that an average human comes face to face with up to 35,000 decisions each day? That can be stressful. So a man in Japan figured out a way to avoid all these daily confrontations. SCMP reported that the man has consumed the same foods and followed fixed daily routines for over a decade to avoid making decisions.
Go Kita has been following his no-decision lifestyle for 15 years and says that it helps him keep his mind clear, Japan’s TBS television reported.
Kita figured out early that making decisions daily is a problem and leads to mental exhaustion. He started working 15 years back and noticed that multiple decisions at the workplace were distressing.
He then looked towards former Japanese baseball star Ichiro Suzuki for inspiration. Suzuki is said to have followed a strict lifestyle with fixed daily decisions for seven years. He ate curry rice for breakfast, did warm-up exercises at specific times, and had a strict schedule for postgame baths.
This is said to have helped him stay focused on his game, leading him to glory. He has an unprecedented 10 consecutive 200-hit seasons, the longest streak in baseball history.

So Kita decided to follow in his footsteps. He has a fixed meal plan - nuts and ramen for breakfast, chicken breast for lunch, and stir-fried pork with bean sprouts for dinner. He also takes nutritional supplements in fixed doses at regular intervals.
He follows a standardised dressing style and wears the same type of shirt and trousers each day. He also has multiple pairs of identical socks and underwear.
Kita also follows a fixed schedule for his other basic tasks, such as shaving, laundry, etc.
This way of living has helped Kita cut down on his mental load and make better decisions at work. He says he thinks clearer and it also reduces stress.
