132. Decision Fatigue, a Behavioral Economics Foundations Episode

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is the last episode of 2020! Like most everyone, I am very excited to be putting this year in the rear-view mirror. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So many people felt bogged down by all the extra stress and decisions of 2020. We had our habits upended and were forced to think about things we were used to letting our subconscious brains handle for us.
