Not because you do not care, and not because you do not know better, but because something in you is simply… done.
Most women I work with recognise this feeling immediately. They describe it as exhaustion, but when we look a little closer, it is not just physical fatigue. It is cognitive. It is the accumulated weight of decisions made across the day, and across the years. We do not often name it, but it has a name. Decision fatigue.
