Why You’re Always Tired: Brain Fog, Burnout & The "23-Minute" Focus Rule
Season 1 Episode 402
Does your brain feel like a web browser with 47 tabs open, and half of them are frozen? You aren’t just "tired"—you are under attack.
In this episode, we uncover why you feel exhausted by 2 PM despite sitting at a desk all day. Here is the controversial truth: Your biology hasn't updated since the Stone Age. Your brain still thinks that "unread email" notification is a predator hiding in the bushes, triggering a survival response that is absolutely destroying your mental health and productivity.
We dive deep into the neuroscience of cognitive overload and brain fog. Did you know that every time you check your phone, it takes your brain 23 minutes to get back to full focus? We break down exactly how "attention residue" is stealing your day and leading to severe decision fatigue.
But we aren't just diagnosing the problem; we’re fixing it. We are handing you a "Mental Hygiene" toolkit to clear the junk data slowing down your processor. You’ll learn:
The Morning Brain Dump: How to clear your working memory before breakfast.
The Two-Minute Rule: The secret to closing "open loops" that drain your battery.
Garbage Night: Why quality sleep is the only way to physically flush toxins from your brain (literally).
How to set digital boundaries and finally cure your phone addiction.
If you are sick of feeling scattered, overwhelmed, and stuck in a fog, this is your roadmap out. It’s time to reboot your system.
