Totally agree with you here! It really helps to simplify things in order to maintain consistency! But then again, I'm a bit OCD and I love structured processes!
Also, I think it helps day to day with your creativity and innovation if you reduce the amount of decisions you have to make about benign things like what to wear or eat. Take Steve Jobs and President Obama for example who were known to wear the same thing literally everyday, in order to save "brain energy" for the most important things during their day (like work).
Great read!
PS - you used to write 2 articles a day?? How did you manage that! Respect!
