Smarter in 5 Minutes: When You’re Tired, Your Brain Thinks Everything’s Urgent

Ever notice how at the end of a long day, even the smallest email feels like a fire drill?

That’s not you being dramatic—it’s your brain on low fuel.

That’s why you wind up reacting instead of deciding, and ending the day more scattered than focused.

The smarter move? Learn how to reset your brain in under a minute so you can see clearly what actually matters.
