Has anyone else noticed how much decision fatigue comes from unclear priorities at work?
I felt drained before the real work even started. How did that show up for you?

Yes I have seen that

It’s surprisingly common. Seeing it repeatedly made me realize how much clarity (or the lack of it) shapes the entire work experience.

I’ve definitely been there. I get decision paralysis and spend too much time thinking about what to tackle first. It’s hard to work effectively when the priorities aren’t clear.

Exactly, that decision paralysis is such a real side effect. When priorities aren’t clear, it feels like you’re constantly second-guessing instead of actually moving work forward. That mental load adds up fast.

Absolutely! It’s crazy how much stress that causes too

Absolutely. That constant low-level stress is exhausting in its own way, even when the workload itself is manageable. Clarity really changes everything.

With product design questions, I struggle to identify user groups. Once I do everything starts flowing and I’m confident. But the initial identification of user groups is something I find challenging. What’s your go-to way of doing this? For example, the question “design a podcasting app for truck drivers.” What types of truck drivers can I select so that I can prioritize a user group to focus on and begin identification of pain points and solutions?
