Before diving into the practices Freeman offers, take this first week to consider the landscape of your own decision-making life — where you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or afraid to choose.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Freeman opens by describing a phenomenon she calls 'decision fatigue' — the exhaustion that comes not just from hard choices but from the sheer volume of choices we face every day. Where do you most notice decision fatigue in your own life right now?
2.She introduces the central phrase: 'do the next right thing in love.' What is your first instinctive reaction to that phrase? Does it feel like a relief, an oversimplification, or something else?
3.Freeman is careful to say this book is not about making big decisions faster or finding a formula for God's will. Why do you think she makes that distinction upfront? How does it change your expectations for what this book will offer?
