Cognitive debt

Cognitive debt is the increasing mental cost resulting from postponed decisions, unfinished business and unorganized information.

Definicja

Cognitive debt is a practical concept, close to cognitive load and attention switching costs. It does not represent a formal diagnosis. It describes a situation in which too many open loops, unclear commitments, and overdue decisions consume attention and make it difficult to think calmly. It is reduced by closing, delegating, organizing and removing unnecessary stimuli.

Częste błędne rozumienie

It is a mistake to treat cognitive debt as laziness. A common mistake is adding further organizational systems instead of actually closing matters.
