Is it decision fatigueβ¦ or decision avoidance? We say weβre overwhelmed. That decisions are exhausting. But most of the time, we already know what to do. The problem isnβt information. Itβs attentionβwith no action attached. The steps required to change a life feel too big. Too costly. Too demanding for women already stretched thin. So nothing changes. Generation after generation. What shifted for me wasnβt motivationβit was management. I stopped filling every quiet moment with noise or caretaking. I created time windows instead. Nothing dramatic happens there. Thatβs the point. When I stopped cramming those spaces with distractions or demands, I found my real capacityβnot to fix everything, but to handle my own problems. Quiet time didnβt make me less present. It made me clearer. Mothers arenβt entitled to time. We manage it. And when we do, time becomes a gift we give ourselvesβ often while sipping something warm.
