Summary
What do brushing your teeth and your email inbox have in common? More than you'd think. This week, Chris and Toby get into the surprisingly deep psychology behind boring tasks why we dread them, why we over-complicate them, and why the processes that are working best are usually the ones nobody notices. If you've ever walked past a sink full of dishes fourteen times before doing anything about it, this one's for you.
