I Thought I Was Lazy. Turns Out, I Was Exhausting Myself

Decision fatigue | Why am I tired even when I do nothing? | Mental exhaustion and overthinking | How to stop overthinking and procrastinating | Productivity and decision making In this video: I genuinely thought I was becoming lazy. I would spend hours doing “nothing” and still feel completely exhausted by the end of the day. No work done, no video filmed, no major task completed — so why was my brain so tired? Then I realised… I wasn't physically exhausted. I was mentally exhausted from constantly making decisions. What should I work on? Is this the right video idea? Should I change my plan? What should I wear? Should I film now or later? Should I rest or am I wasting time? And somehow, thinking about doing everything started feeling like I had actually done something. In this video, I talk about decision fatigue, overthinking, procrastination, and that weird kind of exhaustion you can feel even when you haven't technically “done anything.” I also share the small change I'm trying — writing my decisions down beforehand and, most importantly, *stopping myself from reopening decisions I've already made.* Because maybe we don't always need more motivation, more planning, or another productivity video. Maybe sometimes we just need to stop thinking and start doing. If you've been feeling tired even though you haven't done much lately, I hope this video makes you feel a little less alone. 🤍 And tell me in the comments: *what's one decision you keep re-deciding?* ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📝 *THE PLANNER I USE* The planner I used in this video is from ‪@AtelierNEORAH‬ 👉 [Atelier NEORAH Planners](https://neorah.com/collections/planne...) #DecisionFatigue #Overthinking #MentalExhaustion #Productivity #Procrastination #PersonalGrowth #Twenties #SelfImprovement Timeline: 00:00 - Intro 19:43 - I thought I was lazy 01:28 - The real reason I was tired 01:49 - Decision fatigue 02:33 - The easiest escape 03:55 - When planning feels like progress 05:51- It's not always decision fatigue 06:40- The Pressure of Getting Life Right 07:38- My simple fix 08:22- I still want more 08:56- Outro ABOUT THIS CHANNEL: Heyyyy welcome to my corner of the internet.
