Course overview
Lesson Overview
5.3 – Cognitive Switching Costs Explained: Every time you switch between tasks, your brain spends energy re-orienting. This tiny lag is called a switching cost, and it adds up fast. It can make you feel tired even when you haven’t done much. Knowing this helps you batch similar tasks together to save brainpower. Answering all emails at once is easier than jumping in and out all day. Each restart resets your memory and thought flow. The more often you switch, the more errors sneak in. Reducing switches keeps your attention stable and performance smoother. Treat focus like a train—it runs best on one track at a time. Protecting it means fewer stops and stronger results.
