The question of what to wear is not an easy one.

But making it as simple as possible is a step in the right direction.

I for one, wear the exact same thing every single day: Black fleece, grey t-shirt, jeans, and comfortable tennis shoes.

If it’s hot I’ll wear a Columbia fishing shirt – the one with all the pockets.

This uniform style to clothing is the same thing that Mark Zuckerberg made famous with his hoodie. Steve Jobs did the same thing with his black turtlenecks. And Obama did it in a similar way limiting his daily choice between a grey or navy suit.

The point here is that the less brain power it takes for you to get ready in the morning, the better.

Remember: We prefer less friction to more.

Now I just need to deal with the 90% of my closet I never touch.

I certainly felt happier choosing between two pairs of black pants that I liked rather than among five pairs of black pants, the majority of which were either uncomfortable or unfashionable—and which made me feel guilty for never wearing them, to boot.
