I'm Emily P. Freeman and welcome to the next right thing.

You're listening to episode 126.

This is a podcast about making decisions but also about making a life.

If you struggle with decision fatigue, chronic hesitation or just need a few minutes away

from the constant stream of information and the sometimes still lightfall but also distracting

hum of entertainment, you're in the right place.

I'll bring you a thoughtful story, a little prayer and a simple next right step.

We've heard it said, I've said it here, that adults make over 35,000 decisions every

single day and while in the days of a global pandemic our decisions might look different,

I don't think they're necessarily any less of them.

However, we are having to make them with less awareness of what's going to happen next,

with less dependence on a predictable life rhythm and in general with less solid information.

It's no wonder our daily decisions feel so hard.

Should we clean or rest?

Watch the news or avoid it.

Be strict with the kids or lighten up.

Should we use this time to be productive or to take a break?

Work hard or calm down?

See friends from a safe social distance or not see them at all.

Celebrate now or wait for when we can all gather.

What is our next right thing and how can we know?

That's today's episode.
