About this listen

Every task switch extracts an invisible processing fee from your brain. Episode two examines cognitive drag: the accumulated cost of rapid switching that you cannot feel but constantly pay. When you switch between two simple tasks, performance drops forty percent. Complex tasks? Sixty to eighty percent degradation. Error rates increase sixfold. Your prefrontal cortex burns energy managing switches rather than completing work. By afternoon, you're exhausted not from accomplishing things but from switching between them. The performance drop-off chart reveals the truth: attempting four simultaneous tasks reduces you to forty percent capacity. You feel busy. You're actually operating at a fraction of your capability. Cognitive drag is destroying your effectiveness.
