My version of resistance fatigue is remember it's my job to persuade my audience, and that the audience is normally much bigger than the person directly engaging with. In other words, while I would like to go lawyer mode on the person I'm talking to that would be terrible in terms of the broader argument, but it's really easy to tire of making the same basic points over and over again.

It's similar to doing the same type of cases for a decade+, but this feels even more personal than that did so it's harder.

Now, budget fatigue, that's a real and existential thing. Fortunately, there's ramen and I somehow have managed to be friends with a lot of chefs and other service industry people!
