You’re not lazy. Your brain is at capacity.
Ever stared at your fridge crying because you couldn’t decide on dinner? Decision fatigue is too REAL!
Episode 2: Decision Fatigue and the Invisibility of Mental Labor
This week, we’re talking about decision fatigue and the invisible weight of mental labor. You know—all the shit nobody sees but still magically expects you to handle.
I’m breaking down how I manage it without breaking myself, using what I call the Soft Structure method: a flexible, ADHD-friendly planning system that helps me stay honest about my energy while still getting shit done.
In this episode:
- Why decision fatigue is real as hell—and what happened when I tried to push through it.
- What mental labor actually looks like (and how to drag it into the light).
- The nitty gritty of my Soft Structure method and how to customize it for your life.
- Where to get your own free, printable version of the Soft Structure guide.
- How body doubling and my modified Pomodoro method help me avoid spiraling into the abyss.
Mentioned in this episode:
- The Honeyman Method – The original inspiration that helped me shape Soft Structure after a therapy session.
- The Soft Structure Printable – Totally free, editable in Canva, or ready to print and use digitally.
- Membership Perks – Get early access, behind-the-scenes stuff, and whatever nonsense I’m cooking up before anyone else.
- Subscriber Dashboard – For members who already signed up and want to access their good stuff.
