Episode 3293:

Steve Pavlina illustrates how conserving mental energy by routinizing mundane decisions can significantly enhance productivity and creativity. Drawing inspiration from President Obama's habits, Pavlina encourages focusing mental resources on high-impact tasks by automating low-priority choices, ultimately leading to more meaningful and effective use of one's mental energy.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://stevepavlina.com/blog/2014/02/conserving-mental-energy/

Quotes to ponder:

"Routinize your mundane daily decisions, so you can wisely invest more of your precious mental energy in your high-impact goals and projects."

"When you avoid investing your creative energy in low-impact decisions, you free up that creative energy to be put to good use elsewhere."

"It’s well established that your daily mental resources are limited and fatigable."
