In This Episode · Why willpower eventually breaks down · What decision fatigue is and why it matters · How one-time decisions reduce mental strain · Practical examples for health, work, and daily routines · Why good systems make the right choice easier Key Takeaway Don't build a life that requires constant willpower.
