In this episode of The Who Cares? Podcast, Jeff Jackel and Jay O’Brien explore the subtle yet powerful force that saps our energy and attention every day: the sheer number of trivial decisions we make. From picking out clothes in the morning to sorting through email spam, they reveal how these “micro-decisions” stack up and silently wreck your focus.

🎯 What You’ll Learn:

What decision fatigue actually is (yes, it’s a real, science-backed phenomenon)

How simplifying your routines can lead to massive productivity gains

Why Jeff laid out his clothes like a schoolkid—and how it actually helped

The surprising energy cost of long-winded conversations (sorry, Mom)

How to create systems that protect your time and attention

Why eliminating noise is more powerful than "working harder"

What it really means to work smarter, not harder

This episode is a mix of hilarious side tangents (including junk mail rage, back injuries from laundry, and a dig at turtlenecks) and actionable takeaways to help you reclaim your mental bandwidth.

If you're a business leader, entrepreneur, or just someone trying to do more with less energy—this one’s for you.
