Episode notes
Nighttime Flight Turnback
- Grey describes a flight that circled due to thunderstorms and returned to Washington Dulles at 2am after running low on fuel.
- The disruption forced repeated Washington–North Carolina legs and caused cascading schedule problems for his plans.
Decisions Wear You Out, Not Their Size
- Decision fatigue accumulates from making many choices, not the size of each choice.
- Travel amplifies this because every novel situation forces many small decisions that wear down cognition.
Standardize Travel To Reduce Stress
- Reduce travel decision load by standardizing choices like airlines, terminals, and restaurants.
- Stick to consistent routines so fewer novel decisions arise at airports and during transit.
