From social media to remote working, our busy digital world is constantly challenging our brains to process more and more information. Since our brains have only so much capacity to store and process information, these digital distractions can lead to fatigue or "cognitive overload" and reduce our performance, productivity and general wellbeing. đ€Ż
When our brains are in overdrive, we can experience memory problems and find it more difficult to think clearly, to plan and to control our emotions. Typical symptoms of cognitive overload include:
Making more mistakes
Having to start thought processes over and over again
Having trouble paying attention to others
Regularly forgetting important things
