Sustainable Foundations | Equipping Christian Women for Faith-Based Business Growth and Sustainable Scaling

44 | The Real Reason You're Always Tired (Hint: It's Not Just Busyness or Burnout)


Listen Later

It's Monday morning after a long weekend.

The fridge is half empty, the shoes aren't by the door, and you're piecing together lunches from whatever's left in the pantry. By the time everyone's out the door and you finally sit down to work — your brain already feels… done.

Sound familiar? That's not laziness or lack of motivation — that's decision fatigue.

In this episode of The Sustainable Foundations Podcast, we're unpacking the invisible weight that's draining your time, energy, and peace before the day even starts. You'll learn what decision fatigue really is, the four sneaky ways it's showing up in your life, and the five practical tools you can use to simplify choices and design your days with more peace, focus, and clarity.

If your mind feels constantly "on" — juggling home, business, and everything in between — this episode will help you take a deep breath, refill your mental energy, and start leading your life from rhythm instead of reaction.

🌿 In This Episode, You'll Learn:
  • What decision fatigue really means — and how it affects your time and mental clarity

  • The Four Decision Drains quietly depleting your focus: Volume, Ambiguity, Context-Switching, and Moral Weight

  • How to recognize when your decision "bank account" is empty — and what to do before burnout sets in

  • The 5-step Decision-Design Framework to help you make fewer, faster, clearer decisions

  • Real-life examples for how to apply these tools at home and in business

  • A 7-Day Decision Fatigue Reset to help you rebuild your mental margin

  • Faith-filled mindset shifts that will help you steward your time and energy God's way
