How To Win Friends and Influence People

In an era where mental health is increasingly claiming space in our daily lives, it is essential to bring this concern to our workplace as well. If vigorous mental health brings more productivity to the performance of a professional activity, a Cognitive Load adjusted to the capacity of each one will also produce similar effects. But to what extent are we considering the influence of each individual’s Cognitive Load on the performance of their work? And what is the impact of this type of load on each individual’s mental health?

Mental health and Cognitive Load

Cognitive Load theory was first developed by educational psychologist John Sweller in the late 1980s while analysing how his students studied and solved problems. Sweller realised that to solve problems, his students needed to have high cognitive thinking skills. From then on, Sweller dedicated himself to understanding how to reduce this cognitive load to help his students. Cognitive Load theory was John Sweller’s way of quantifying this effort. He defines Cognitive Load as “the total amount of mental effort being used in the working memory.”

What is Cognitive Load?

Working memory can only hold a limited amount of information, so it's important to keep it manageable. Cognitive Load Theory refers to the different types of information that working memory can handle at once.<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">🧠 Intrinsic Load: the difficulty and complexity of a task or new information</li><li class="ql-align-justify">🚀 Extraneous Load: how information is presented and the environment in which tasks are performed</li><li class="ql-align-justify">💡 Germane Load: the effort put into connecting new information with existing knowledge for long-term storage</li></ul>

The Three Types of Cognitive Load

When managing a large ecosystem, it's crucial to consider the cognitive load of different teams. Neglecting this can lead to mental overload, physically and mentally impacting employees and resulting in delayed tasks, poor quality work, and decreased motivation.To prevent this, carefully managing the amount of information and tasks assigned to each team member is essential. Key concepts to remember include:<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Recognize each person's capacity for handling information</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Avoid assigning too many tasks at once</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Regularly check in on team members' stress levels</li></ul>

The Importance of Managing Cognitive Load in Teams

In an era where mental health is increasingly claiming space in our daily lives, it is essential to bring this concern to our workplace as well. If vigorous mental health brings more productivity to…

“If you can get 1 percent better each day for one year, you’ll end up thirty-seven times better by the time you’re done.”

<a href="https://elevatedpath.beehiiv.com/subscribe">The Art Of Habits</a> (it's free)( I've made "The Art Of Habits" is free, because I believe everyone deserves to have access to this system.)1. Small, Incremental ImprovementsImproving just 1% each day can lead to significant, exponential growth over time, resulting in being thirty-seven times better after one year.

The Surprising Power of Atomic Habits:

Initial progress from small habits may not be visible, but over time these small changes compound and create a powerful impact.

2. Invisible Beginnings

Progress is not linear but exponential, meaning the biggest results come after a longer period of consistent effort.

3. Exponential Growth

Goals set direction, but the systems you implement are what drive long-term success.

4. Focus on Systems, Not Goals

Success comes from consistent, small actions rather than sudden, large changes.

5. Consistency Over Time

Believing in and sticking with your system is crucial, even when immediate results are not visible.

6. Trust the Process

Finding motivation and happiness in your daily systems ensures sustained effort and satisfaction beyond just achieving goals.

7. Enjoy the Journey

People often notice the breakthrough moment but overlook the consistent, small efforts that led to it.

8. Breakthroughs are Deceptive

The impact of your habits is initially small but grows exponentially, highlighting the importance of persistence.

9. Exponential Progress

Designing an effective system and focusing on the process is more sustainable and rewarding than only aiming for specific goals.

10. System Over Goals

Just like money grows exponentially with compound interest, small daily improvements lead to significant long-term growth.

11. Analogy of Compound Interest

Regular, small workouts might not show immediate results, but over months, they lead to noticeable fitness improvements.

12. Example of Fitness

Laying one brick perfectly each day may not seem like much, but over time, it results in a strong, beautiful house.

13. Building a House

<ol><li>Forget About Goals: Shift focus from achieving specific goals to creating and refining your daily systems.</li><li>Design Effective Systems: Create routines and processes that align with your desired outcomes and ensure they are motivating and enjoyable.</li><li>Trust the Process: Be patient and consistent, trusting that your efforts will lead to exponential growth over time.</li></ol>

Action Steps : Forget about goals, focus on the system instead

“The goal is not to run a marathon, the goal is to become a runner.”

<a href="https://elevatedpath.beehiiv.com/subscribe">The Art Of Habits</a> (it's free) ( I've made "The Art Of Habits" is free, because I believe everyone deserves to have access to this system.) You can change your outcomes or your processes; however, if you don’t change your identity, you will eventually come back to your old habits. For example, if you want to stop smoking, and you keep saying, “I’m trying to quit smoking,” it’s the outcome you are trying to change. Lasting change can only come through identity change. In this example, you must start saying, “I’m not a smoker.”

How Your Habits Shape Your Identity (and Vice Versa)

If good habits are in conflict with your identity, you will fail to establish them.

Good Habits vs. Identity

It’s not enough to say, “I’m a runner.” If you run two times a week, your actions prove that you truly are a runner. The best way to change who you are is to change what you do. Your actions give proof of who you are. For example, if you write two pages every day, you are a writer.

Actions Prove Your Identity

1. Decide the Type of Person You Want to BeWhat do you want to stand for? What are your principles and values? Who do you wish to become? To figure out the answer, ask questions like, “Who is the type of person that could learn a new language?” The answer to such a question will define the identity you must have.2. Prove It to Yourself with Small WinsOnce you decide what identity you want to have, ask yourself what actions that type of person does. If you want to lose weight, ask, “What would a thinner person do?”

Action Plans: Change Your Identity to Change Your Habits

Clear is known for his ability to distill complex topics into simple behaviors that can be easily applied to daily life and work.
