## Resource

In this episode of The Burnout Podcast, Lucas and Luna explore how email batching can dramatically reduce decision fatigue and burnout. They break down the neuroscience behind why constant inbox checking depletes willpower, using the example of a software engineer who cut her daily email checks from thirty to three and saw a forty percent drop in exhaustion. The hosts discuss practical strategies for implementing batching, the importance of setting expectations with colleagues, and how small structural changes can protect cognitive energy.
