Do you ever feel like half your brain is just repeating itself all day?
Serious question.
Between:
- Re-explaining decisions
- Answering the same questions on email/Slack
- Sitting in meetings that could’ve been summarized
- Remembering follow-ups you already thought about
It feels like a lot of cognitive waste.
Not hard work — just repetitive thinking.
How do you currently deal with this?
- Systems?
- Assistants?
- Just brute force?
Trying to understand whether this is a personal failure… or a tooling failure.
