Today we explore why so many leaders feel drained by small choices and how to spot a cognitively demanding season before it sparks unnecessary change. We share practical tools to protect focus, recover well, and tell the difference between a temporary surge and a lasting shift in your work.

In today’s episode you will learn about:

• naming a cognitively demanding season

• signs of mental overload and decision fatigue

• relief versus clarity and why urgency can mislead

• separating real deadlines from self-imposed ones

• simplifying decisions through automation and pre-deciding

• protecting recovery to sustain deep thinking

• season versus shift and how to respond

• using coaching as protected space to think
