My morning routine - minus the 5am ice bath and the 90-minute "non-negotiable" routine everyone's selling you.

I was hitting decision fatigue before 10am. Brain fried, overwhelmed, running on empty before the day had even properly started. So I built a system - not to be a productivity girlboss, but to protect the brain space I actually need for the decisions that matter.

In this episode:

- Why I was getting decision fatigue before 10am (and the psychology behind it)
- What a "system" actually is, and why it's not about rigidity
- My actual morning routine, piece by piece - the good, the "still figuring it out," and the honest bits
What's working, what's not, and what I'm adding next

(Btw the affirmations song I have as my alarm is called Wake Up by Chris'n'Teeb - reference from episode)
