Transcript

There is so much to figure out every single day. Not enough people talk about how tiring it is to maintain your life. But there is a shift that has made this feeling a lot lighter for me. I'm Kathryn. I have a degree in psychology and this is understanding your overwhelmed brain is the mental load of everyday life. Life admin is constant as an adult. Emails, groceries, messages, appointments, all filled with micro decisions. Starting from scratch on all of these every day creates decision fatigue. So the key is to create repeatable structure around the things you do regularly. This gives your brain more predictability and relief from all of the decisions. The less yourself do, the better. And yesterday's video, which solved recurring problems, check examples.
