More tired than your schedule seems to justify. More mentally cluttered than you'd like. And part of the reason — a significant part — may have nothing to do with how much you're doing and everything to do with how many things you're leaving unfinished and undecided. I explore what happens in the mind and nervous system when decisions go unmade, conversations go unhadad, and open loops keep cycling. Because unresolved things don't go dormant. They run in the background — quietly consuming the same cognitive and physiological resources you need for everything else. This episode makes a compelling case for decisiveness not as a productivity strategy, but as a genuine act of self-care. Making a decision — even an imperfect one — is one of the most caring things you can do for your own nervous system. You either progress or you learn. Either outcome is better than the cost of staying stuck. Ready to go deeper?
