Decision Fatigue - How to Design Without Burning Out
In this episode of Custom Built, we’re digging into a reality every homeowner feels but rarely plans for: decision fatigue. Between daily life (kids, work, meals, errands) and the dozens of choices a renovation requires—paint colors, trim, flooring, fixtures, tile, even niche lighting—it’s easy to burn out before demo day. I’ll walk you through a calmer way to plan so your project stays on track without draining your energy (or your joy).
I’ll share simple tactics to beat overwhelm: work backward from your desired feel and function, chunk decisions room-by-room, pair a couple hard choices with a few easy wins, and give yourself short, intentional “power-through” windows (15–30 minutes) instead of marathon sessions. And when your brain says “nope,” we’ll cover why stepping away—walks, hobbies, fresh air—actually speeds good decisions.
If you want fewer regrets, fewer change orders, and a smoother build, this episode gives you a practical framework to make confident choices without the burnout.
