We unpack why exhaustion comes from decision overload, not workload, and how seeking endless advice backfires. We show a simple writing practice to calm the threat response, access intuition, and choose with alignment instead of fear.
• decision fatigue driven by mental bandwidth, not tasks
• brain’s need for certainty and safety
• pitfalls of outsourcing choices to experts
• alignment over blueprints for unique paths
• reframing right vs wrong into learning
• naming emotions and thoughts to reduce threat
• pen-and-paper exercise to activate logic
• setting constraints to end analysis paralysis
