Feeling overwhelmed by endless decisions? You’re not weak — you’re suffering from decision fatigue founders, the hidden killer of focus, productivity, and growth for founders. In this powerhouse episode of Let’s Get Entrepreneurial, Professor Gary Palin (angel investor & entrepreneurship educator) and Ryan Budden break down:

Why founders make up to 35,000 decisions a day — and how even tiny ones (like what socks to wear) drain your mental battery

Shocking proof it’s real: judges deny parole later in the day, shoppers abandon carts with too many exits, and entrepreneurs burn out faster than everyone else

The dangerous symptoms: procrastination, impulse choices, missed priorities, overspending, and toxic team culture

Proven business growth strategies to beat decision fatigue FOREVER:→ Ruthlessly prioritize with the 80/20 rule and Eisenhower Matrix→ Eliminate low-stakes choices (exactly how Zuckerberg & Steve Jobs did it)→ Use time-blocking, checklists, sticky notes, Basecamp, and CRM hacks→ Limit every decision to 3 options max (goodbye paralysis by analysis!)→ Delegate, automate, and build routines that protect your energy→ Recover fast with exercise, meditation, unplugging, and “gym thoughts”

If you’ve ever ended the day exhausted but feel like you got nothing important done — this episode is your lifeline.

Implement just ONE of Professor Gary Palin’s homework assignments this week and watch your clarity, confidence, and startup growth explode.

Perfect for founders, solo entrepreneurs, startup CEOs, and anyone chasing the entrepreneur mindset without burning out.
