Part 8/9:
Utilizing Cognitive Tools
An often overlooked aspect of maintaining mental clarity is the presence of cognitive tools. The concept of creating a second brain—a system for managing information outside the mind—can significantly enhance mental efficiency. This external system allows individuals to unload their cognitive burdens, freeing the mind for creative thinking.
Implementing a clarity pause, where one writes down every task and idea, can alleviate overthinking. This practice serves as a mental reset, ensuring that the cognitive load is manageable.
