187 | Close the Tabs: Reclaiming Your Capacity

What if the thing draining your energy isn't your workload, but all the decisions you haven't finished making? In this solo episode of Dropped In, Meghan dives into decision fatigue and the hidden impact of unresolved decisions, unfinished conversations, and commitments that are sitting in the background of your mind. Using the metaphor of having dozens of open browser tabs, Meghan explores how these "open loops" quietly consume your attention and reduce your available capacity. She also explains why the answer isn't always to do less. Sometimes, we need to close the tabs, and sometimes we need to build the capacity to hold more. In this episode, Meghan explores: How unresolved decisions quietly consume your capacity Why decision fatigue can make simple tasks feel overwhelming The connection between open loops, attention, and your nervous system Why capacity isn't about making your life smaller How to recognize what needs closure versus what requires greater capacity Why reclaiming existing energy can be more powerful than trying to create more How decision fatigue can become a leadership bottleneck as your business grows A simple journaling exercise to identify your "open tabs" Your next level will ask more of you. The goal isn't to eliminate every demand. It's to develop the capacity to meet those demands without losing access to yourself. And maybe it's time to close a few damn tabs.
