What is burnout costing you outside of work?

You can still be high-performing, hitting your goals, leading your team, and being the person everyone counts on while burnout quietly shows up somewhere else: your relationships, health, attention, sleep, and the experiences you're missing.

In this episode of Clarity Under Pressure, Lisa Larson explores the connection between burnout, decision fatigue, and decision friction.

Decision friction is everything that makes decisions harder, slower, or more mentally expensive than they need to be: unclear ownership, constant context switching, unnecessary escalation, incomplete information, unresolved decisions, and everything feeling urgent.

The workday may end, but those decisions can follow you home.

You'll learn:

• How decision friction contributes to cognitive overload and burnout
• Why unresolved decisions keep consuming mental energy
• How burnout can create even more decision friction
• Why taking a vacation doesn't necessarily solve the underlying problem
• How to identify decisions that aren't yours to carry
• A simple Reality Check to separate facts, assumptions, unknowns, and stories
• How to protect more of your attention and energy for the life outside of work

Ask yourself:

Where is work getting the best of you while the people and things you care about get what's left?

Reducing burnout isn't just about doing less. It's about carrying what's yours and letting others carry theirs.
