What is the real number of decisions you make daily if you are a caregiver?
As a caregiver, I’m willing to bet the number is higher than 35,000. Hopefully, most of them are harmless, like “What should I make mom for breakfast?” Or “Should I bring an umbrella when we go to the doctor appointment today?” The truth is, the decisions we make for and with our caree often don’t feel harmless.
The questions we need to ask ourselves are, what can I do to spread decision making around? When is the best time f day for me to make a decision? The link below introduces you to decision fatigue and offers answers to these questions.

Hello Deb. I wrote to you earlier about a MSS I have recently finished but failed to give the background which makes all the difference. My wife Rita has had Parkinson’s for over 13 years and I am her full-time caregiver. A number of people have been encouraging me to write on out experience so the book is just that. It tells our story with something added to caregivers as to the things I have discovered on the journey. The book is entitled “It’s All About Love” with a subtitle of “Confessions of a Caregiver.”
John,
Thank you for reaching out. Before I respond to your request to read your book, please send me a link to your website.
Thanks,
Deb
