Decision Fatigue

Summary:

In today’s episode, we dive into a topic that affects us all - decision fatigue - and we have an expert to guide us through it, Dr. Shawn Watson. Dr. Watson is a neuroscientist, entrepreneur, and founder of Senescence Life Sciences, a company at the forefront of cutting edge research on brain health, performance, and aging. With extensive experience in both neuroscience and business, he’s well versed in the science behind cognitive health and decision making.

Over the years, Dr. Watson has shifted his focus to one of the most pressing issues in modern life: how society and our environment impact our ability to make decisions. In this episode, we’ll explore the concept of decision fatigue—what it is, why it happens, and how it affects both our professional and personal lives.

In our conversation, Dr. Watson breaks down:

• The scientific basis behind decision fatigue and how our brain gets drained from making too many choices.
• How decision fatigue differs from general tiredness or burnout, and the specific ways it can impair our cognitive function.
• Real life examples of decision fatigue in everyday scenarios and its impact on productivity, relationships, and wellbeing.
• Practical strategies to manage decision fatigue, conserve mental energy, and make better, more effective decisions throughout the day.

Whether you’re struggling with overwhelming choices, feeling mentally exhausted by the end of the day, or simply curious about how to optimise your brain’s decision making abilities, this episode will provide valuable insights.
