How can I reduce content creation burnout and decision fatigue?

Make recording part of your daily routine by capturing short clips of various activities—even mundane ones like sipping coffee, reading in a hammock, doing dishes, or cleaning. Not everything has to be art-related. By consistently recording snippets throughout your day, you build a library of material to work with when it’s time to create content. This eliminates the pressure of having to come up with ideas and shoot footage in the same session. When you have existing material ready to use, it dramatically reduces decision friction and burnout because you already have something to work with. The key is making ‘capture a couple of clips’ part of your daily to-do list, even when you’re not actively creating art.
