Ever stood in front of your wardrobe, your fridge, or your to-do list and thought, “I literally cannot make one more decision today”? Yep. That’s decision fatigue — and as a teacher, a mum, a partner, and a human being, you’re probably feeling it more than you realize.
In this episode, I’m unpacking what decision fatigue actually is, why it hits teachers so hard, and how we can lighten the mental load. I’m sharing simple strategies that have helped me protect my energy and reclaim a bit more calm in the chaos. You are not alone in this — and no, you don’t have to make all the decisions today.
