Your developers have a finite cognitive budget.
Every technology, pattern, and abstraction consumes it.

Choose your stack's complexity based on your team's cognitive capacity, not Medium articles or slides you've seen.

🧠👩‍👦Household mental load: 71% on mums

A new study reveals mums handle 71% of the 'invisible' thinking work at home, from meal planning to childcare. Dads focus more on occasional tasks like finances.

Why does this mental load still divide by gender?

You can't be accessible if people can't understand you

You can pass every technical check and still leave people confused. #JamilaSavoy and #JessMathew on why #PlainLanguage matters and how it cuts #CognitiveLoad.

Il cervello impiega pochissimo tempo a decodificare:

• testo
• simboli
• frecce

Inoltre elabora le forme prima delle parole e riconosce la direzione prima del contenuto, riducendo il #cognitiveload (carico cognitivo): il messaggio non si interpreta, si comprende subito.

I like to flip the script:
💪 'I love a challenge'
🛠 'Looks like I’m solving this today'
Changing your language is one aspect of changing physiological arousal, stress levels and ultimately elevating performance. 🏥 2/2

It’s half term (finally) and this dropped through my letterbox! Can’t believe I didn’t get it sooner - so many ideas and ways to improve my use of graphic organisers #resources #edulit @olicav #teaching #dualcoding #cognitiveload #cpd

I love and also despise how much my coworkers love cramming random hashtags into their slideshows. Like, Charlotte, it's not 2011, you don't need to hashtag everything, no one is saying "#cognitiveload" anywhere. It's especially funny when it's an obscenely long one too

Simple UX reduces cognitive load, improves accessibility, and drives better outcomes. Clarity beats complexity.

Writing a post about how #CognitiveLoad helped us make better and informed decisions when aiming to improve stuff.

20 pages so far.

Full of images.

One of the most detailed articles that I have written so far.

You will see it soon at teamtopologies.com/examples 😄

Our brains evolved for sequential processing. Modern leadership demands simultaneous processing across multiple complex systems. The switching cost is killing us. Read this week's issue

our first work on #danceScience and #cognitiveLoad out as a preprint! "Enhancing dance learning by reducing cognitive load: A preregistered study on the effect of dancers’ viewing perspective and expertise" osf.io/preprints/ps...
co-led with Manuela #Angioi , with great collaborators worldwide

Joy in work is so important. When we feel we belong, we can connect with others to repair from stressful work situations, refill the energy bank to take on the next challenge. Less #cognitiveload taken up by trying to ‘fit in’.
I ❤️ my workplace!

🌈 Use Consistent Icons and Colours (Dual Coding)
Why? Combines visual and verbal information to enhance memorisation.
How? Use icon libraries in PowerPoint for consistent visuals that align with concepts.

Working memory is limited in capacity, so learning is most effective when cognitive load is optimized.

I wrote a very in depth case study on how we leverage #CognitiveLoad, and how it helped us make better decisions as technical leaders.

It will be published in the following days at the @teamtopologies.com website.
