Summary
On today's episode, we dive into the very real problem of overwhelm in dentistry and why it is not simply about having too much to do. Dr. Mark Costes breaks down how decision fatigue, multitasking, cognitive load, sleep debt, clutter, caffeine, alcohol, and constant content consumption can push practice owners from intentional leadership into reactive survival mode. He also shares practical ways dentists can reduce overwhelm through better prioritization, delegation, systemization, walking, sleep hygiene, closing open loops, and building the right support around them. From managing hygiene exam overload to knowing when it may be time for a coach or executive assistant, this conversation gives dental leaders a clearer path toward more calm, clarity, and control.
