Dr. Shawn Watson, neuroscientist specializing in neurophysiology and cognitive performance and founder of Newman, breaks down decision fatigue as a physiological brain-chemistry problem - not a willpower issue. He explains the glutamate buildup in your prefrontal cortex that quietly erodes your decision-making all day long.

You'll learn:

• Why decision fatigue doesn't cause spectacular failure — it causes consistent underperformance

• The neurochemical mechanism (glutamate) behind mental exhaustion

• How to spot decision avoidance and "default decision-making" in yourself

• Why scrolling social media on a "break" actually costs you decision capacity later

• Cognitive Motor Dual Tasking (CMDT) — how to build brain infrastructure for better decisions

• How to structure your day with a "decision list" instead of a to-do list

• What Numin's clinical trials with esports athletes revealed about recovering from decision fatigue
