Mark Zuckerberg wears the same T-shirt every day because he doesn't like making decisions

At Facebook's first-ever "town hall" meeting, CEO Mark Zuckerberg answered the important questions, like why he apparently wears a gray T-shirt every day.

"I want to clear my life so I have to make as few decisions as possible about anything except how to best serve this community," Zuckerberg said at the event. "I feel like I'm not doing my job if I spend any of my energy on things that are silly or fruitless about my life."

Zuckerberg explained that "a bunch of psychology" suggests that every daily decision, whether it's what to wear or what to eat for breakfast, leads to "decision fatigue." By avoiding any extraneous decisions, Zuckerberg thinks he's better able to focus on his work. He also compared his practice to Steve Jobs' preference for black turtlenecks.
