Formula

Decision Fatigue Index = Decision Load + Complexity Load + Time Load + Exhaustion Load + Willpower Load

Decision Load = (Decisions per Day / 100) Ã— 30

Complexity Load = (Complex Decisions / Total Decisions) Ã— 100 Ã— 1.5

Time Load = (Decision Time Minutes / 60) Ã— 10

Exhaustion Load = (Mental Exhaustion Level / 10) Ã— 20

Willpower Load = (Willpower Depletion / 10) Ã— 20

Index ranges from 0-100, with higher scores suggesting a general lifestyle tendency where decision fatigue may be greater. This is a personal insight, not a medical evaluation.
