Nicholas Thompson is the CEO of The Atlantic, where he has led one of the most successful turnarounds in American media—achieving profitability, record subscriptions, and three Pulitzer Prizes since 2021. Previously editor-in-chief of Wired (where he boosted digital subscriptions nearly 300%) and editor of NewYorker.com, Thompson co-founded two tech ventures sold to WordPress and Amplica Labs, edited stories that became the Oscar-winning film Argo, and authored The Hawk and the Dove, hailed as "brilliant" by The Washington Post. An American record holder in the 50K run with 2 million social media followers, he embodies the intersection of editorial excellence, entrepreneurial vision, and athletic discipline—bringing the same relentless drive to building media companies as he does to distance running.

In this "Lessons" episode, we're exposing why you're exhausted all the time: It's not from working too much, it's from carrying dozens of unfinished things in your head. Every unanswered text, every avoided decision, every half-done project drains your mental energy all day without you noticing. Here's why unfinished tasks destroy your energy more than actual work—and how closing them gives you your energy back immediately.
