“Satisficing” - settling for “good enough” for the unimportant things. Not wasting time looking for the “perfect” pen. Or spend a loooong time looking for shampoos.

It frees the mind from Decision Fatigue and leaves more energy for more essential thoughts & tasks. It’s what happens when we use Heuristics and Rules of Thumb.
