Working Saturdays: Why Jaggu Hunter Had It Easier Than You? It’s a working Saturday. As I sip my nth cup of kaapi, trying to muster some enthusiasm, I can’t help but wonder: Why does this feel so exhausting? Sure, there’s work, but it’s not like I’m ploughing fields or running marathons. And yet, the tiredness feels disproportionate. Turns out, it’s not just me. Meet Jaggu Hunter—an ancient Indian guy from about 300,000 years ago. His biggest decision of the day? “Nadi se paani laoon ya aam ke pedh ke neeche so jaoon?” Jaggu’s prefrontal cortex (the part of the brain responsible for decision-making) had a chilled-out life. Fast-forward to today. We’re making 35,000 decisions daily—from “Which WhatsApp group to mute?” to “Do I eat poha or dosa for breakfast?” It’s no wonder our brains feel more jammed than traffic on Hosur Road during peak hours. Here’s the problem: Every decision clogs our brain’s “mental gallis” with glutamate. Add caffeine, notifications, and hustle culture, and we’re all fried by 3 PM. So, what’s the desi jugaad to beat this? Simplify: Plan your meals like your mom plans Diwali—down to the smallest detail. Delegate: Rotate between three kurtas or shirts all week. If it’s good enough for Steve Jobs, it’s good enough for you. Nap: Yes, reclaim thoda sa sukoon during your day. Siestas aren’t just for the Mediterranean—they’re for us too! Modern fatigue isn’t a flaw—it’s an inevitability. But if Jaggu Hunter could survive sabre-toothed tigers, surely we can outwit decision fatigue. Right? What’s your trick to surviving the chaos of working Saturdays? Share it below—because sharing is the easiest decision you’ll make today. #WorkingSaturday #GyaaniShrini #MentalWellness #IndianLife #DecisionFatigue #ProductivityHacks #ModernLifeBalance #CorporateLife
