Crazy Busy Disables the Brain

  • Being "crazy busy" impairs our ability to effectively handle tasks and stresses.
  • Stress activates brain areas linked to anger and anxiety while weakening judgment and impulse control.
ADVICE

Be Ready, Prioritize, Simplify

  • Use triage like an ER: prioritize red (life-threatening), then yellow, then green cases.
  • Design your life to reduce mental load and focus fully on urgent issues to stay calm and effective.
