Deep dives
Understanding System Fatigue
System fatigue occurs when repeated attempts to get organized fail, leaving individuals feeling overwhelmed and frustrated. This phenomenon arises from trying multiple tools, planners, and techniques that ultimately do not align with one's lifestyle or mindset. It leads to burnout as individuals feel like they are continually failing to keep up, even when they invest significant time and effort into finding a solution. Recognizing this fatigue is crucial because it helps people realize that the issue is not their ability but rather the compatibility of the systems they are using with their unique circumstances.
