But lowk this is the Strat, as long as you know how much is on each one, and don’t lose them (keep in wallet or take pictures) you can just designate the ones you like for specific times to go to those stores, or just save em for gift giving next year/birthday!

For like 4 years straight I was getting Amazon gift cards from my aunt and uncle and kept forgetting until last year when they sent me one like usual and I actually searched “Amazon” in my email inbox and realized I had like $600 to spend

That’s so real, like I’d much rather get cash. It feels so much less restrictive

Google is free, but decision fatigue is something that can happen to anybody, even you! It’s when your mind gets so tired of making decisions (which actually requires a lot of energy and mental effort) that you end up not being able to make a decision at all.

It’s the worst 🥺 especially if you can tell that you’re in a decision spiral, and sometimes it’s good to ask someone else to make the decision, instead of weighing pros and cons yourself

3 is right it can happen to anyone but for neurodivergent people it happens more often, even with fun decisions like what to use a gift card for or even things as like what to order at a restaurant. neurotypical people get it more with like major life experiences like what type of car to buy more so with bigger things, and are a lot more decisive with smaller things unlike ND ppl.
