She actually did study, she came here and watched the today show shenanigans. Youre probably suffering from decision fatigue. Here to tell us why we are so mentally exhausted and what we can do about it are psychologist dale atkins and the coauthor of will power rediscovering the greatest human strength and New York Times columnist john tierney. Welcome. Hi, guys, how are you . Great, thank you. Decision fatigue, this is a real thing, isnt it . John you wrote a lot about this. Its been discovered in the lab and shopping mall. The first experiment involved these hungry students that were they were left alone with these delicious chocolate chip cookies and they had to resist them, theyre not supposed to eat them. When they did eat they managed to resist them but afterwards they had less selfcontrol for anything else. They depleted their will power, their mental energy. You have just a certain amount of will power in you . You have a certain amount and you have to guard it and protect it. What happens is you end up making poor decisions if you make any decision at all. Tell me, arent every video is different, though . Some people have more will power than others and more energy in general . We all deplete it though. Right. The researchers found making decisions depletes the same source of energy. After you make these decisions then you have less willpower left to resist temptation and make bad decisions. Nothing good happens after midnight. After 4 00. After 4 00. You know, important decisions that you really have to have your attention and your focus for and then there are a lot of little decisions that you waste your energy on. Interesting you guys are talking about buying a car, that certain people tend to pay more after 4 00 because youre just like whatever. You give up. Is that what happens to your brain, you shut down and accept . They did an experiment, researchers watched people who were buying a car as they went down the list of options and at a certain point they would stop making choices and the default. The difference made 2,000 a car depending whether you put the expensive things first or last. At a certain point you stop making it. Thats one of the easiest ways to deal with the fatigue, duck the decisions. A matter of overload. It is. Your data is all full. It is overload and what happens is f you dont refresh, then you just cant do it anymore and say im done. I cant as in the clip, i cant hear you, i just youre asking too much of me. We each have to know how much we have. Okay. If youre somebody watching and you do have a lot of decisions to make, its best to make all of your major decisions all before 4 00 . Is that what were saying . Earlier in the day. Right. Do them earlier in the day before you get fatigue and dont make decisions on an empty stomach. Glucose and food gives you the mental energy. You need that. That can restore your willpower. You say eat a little bit all day long. A little bit of nutritious foods. Dont go for the candy bars. You need to have food with protein and nutritious and you must sleep because how much . How much exercise are we supposed to get. Oh, no. So if you are rested, which is one of the reasons we try to ask people to make important decisions in the morning, and focus on them, youre hopefully having more rest and your brain is more refreshed. How does the secretary of state or anybody travel all over the world, jet lagged constantly, making huge decisions that impact the world . Its a great question. Thank you. On that note yeah. One of the things i think is important and you point this out so beautifully is you have control over when you make your decisions. Yes. And unfortunately so many people are working so hard and spent during date they come home and have to make important decisions. You can say im not fully functioning now. Well deal with that tomorrow.
