Your working memory was designed to hold seven items. You're carrying thirty-seven. This isn't a productivity problem—it's a cognitive architecture crisis. And it's costing you more than efficiency.

attention residue research showing why part of your cognitive capacity stays stuck on previous tasks even when you've moved to new contexts. You're at dinner, but your brain is still running the meeting.

Why your amygdala cannot distinguish between forgotten appointments and actual threats—keeping you in chronic autonomic arousal that manifests as anxiety, hypervigilance, and depleted resilience.

The identity-level cost of unscheduled goals. You're not just managing tasks. You're carrying the weight of who you intended to become but haven't. That heaviness is neurological, not emotional.

The three research-backed solutions that restore cognitive capacity: structured capture systems your brain trusts, architectural planning that eliminates attention residue, and closure mechanisms that regulate your nervous system.

This isn't productivity advice. This is applied neuroscience.
