Episode 3565:
Jay Harrington shares how decision fatigue sabotages our intentions by the end of the day, and how one-and-done decisions can preserve our willpower and simplify daily life. Paired with the parable of the two wolves, he reminds us that what we focus on, be it habits or mindsets, shapes our outcomes, and feeding the “good wolf” leads to more intentional, fulfilling living.

Quotes to ponder:
"Every decision we make throughout a day progressively depletes our ability to make good decisions."
"By making the decision once, I didn’t have to grapple with it every day."
"The same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too."
"We get what we feed."
