THE CLOSET — Have you ever noticed that the smartest people in history often dressed like cartoon characters? Albert Einstein had his grey suit. Steve Jobs had the black turtleneck. Mark Zuckerberg has the hoodie. They aren’t fashion-blind; they are efficiency experts.
The concept is called “Decision Fatigue.”
Saving Your Brain Power
As explained in a classic study by The New York Times, the human brain has a finite amount of willpower each day. Every choice you make—from breakfast to socks—depletes that energy. By automating their wardrobe, these geniuses saved their mental capacity for things like the Theory of Relativity or inventing the iPhone.
The Geek Uniform
You can adopt this genius strategy without the grey suit. We recommend filling your drawer with a rotation of graphic tees. When your outfit says “I’m Not Arguing, I’m Just Explaining Why I’m Right,” you don’t just look good; you are literally preserving your brain cells for more important tasks (like gaming).
