Attention limit

Attentional limit is the limited ability to maintain and divide cognitive resources between stimuli, tasks and decisions.

Definition

Attention is not an infinite resource. When too many things compete for processing at once, errors, decision fatigue, and superficiality increase. Therefore, effective work systems limit the number of active stimuli and help you choose one most important task.
