Shownotes

Ever record take after take and still feel unsure which one was right?

It might not be a creative block. It could be decision fatigue.

In this episode of The Cognitive Performer, we break down what really happens when your brain gets overloaded — and how it quietly shapes the choices you make during creative work.

You’ll learn:

  • How small, invisible decisions stack up during a session
  • What fatigue does to your planning, flexibility, and creative flow
  • Why defaulting to “what usually works” isn’t always a good thing
  • How to spot the signs of mental drain before it tanks your performance
  • Simple science-backed ways to protect your energy and output
