ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Are you asking your brain to carry too much information instead of doing the work in front of you?
In this episode, Kristin Graham breaks down why trying so hard to get organized can drain the exact energy you need to complete a task. We look at researcher Sophie Leroy's concept of attention residue, why cognitive tabs stay open when you switch tasks, and how setting up a ready to resume plan lets you jump back into projects without starting over. You will also learn practical ways to offload storage to simple external tools so your brain can stop tracking and start doing.
