#94 - Help With Decision Fatigue For Working Moms

Have you noticed yourself getting angrier, less focused, feeling more anxious or giving in to junk food for the kids and yourself more often? Maybe you've been clicking those Facebook ads promising the longest eyelashes ever or you've been on the verge of tears at the grocery store and not known why. As working moms, we are no stranger to making a lot of decisions, but this current pandemic has brought a tsunami of decisions we weren't prepared for: Do I wear a mask to walk the dog? Should I bring the kids to the grocery store? Which sanitizer is best? Am I supposed to get in the elevator or wait? Should the kids be allowed to play with a friend? It's no longer about what to wear or what to have for dinner. We are being tasked with making more decisions that have bigger implications for ourselves and our families, than ever before. If any of this sounds like you, you are probably experiencing decision fatigue. With being faced with so many choices, options and decisions, it's no wonder you want to stay home and binge Netflix alone or dread Monday mornings more than usual. This week on the CPA MOMS Podcast, I discuss what causes decision fatigue and ways to help you manage it.
