Sometimes a phrase contains a lot of subtle wisdom:

There’s a really important thing that sometimes nervous people like me don’t realize—that the expression “to make a decision” is perfectly accurate: a decision is something you create. There’s an inclination to think that with enough research and thinking and conversation and information, it’s possible to determine what the correct decision is; to think that decision making is an intellectual puzzle. But generally it’s not. You make decisions. Something is created when you make a decision. It’s an act of will, not an act of thought.

Glouberman and Heti, The Chairs Are Where the People Go, page 86

I suspect this is also why making decisions is so often exhausting: acts of will require more energy than simply thinking. But if we recognize decision-making as a kind of creative practice, it becomes easier to see how we might plan our days to make space (both physical and temporal) for it.
