Cognitive order

Cognitive order is a state in which information, priorities and meanings are organized enough to enable one to think and act clearly.

Definition

This is a practical Guru Element concept related to cognitive load. Cognitive order does not mean the absence of problems, but a level of order where the mind does not have to constantly re-determine what is important. Clear categories, checklists, priorities and limiting unnecessary stimuli help with this.
