Key Quotes:
- “Cognitive load theory is based on the idea that our working memory has limited capacity. When we overload it with too much information and too many tasks at once, our performance begins to suffer.”
- “Use technology to automate repetitive and time-consuming tasks… Automation reduces the cognitive load associated with managing these tasks manually.”
- “Standardize routine procedures with checklists and protocols. This will not only ensure consistency but it also reduces the cognitive effort required to remember every step of the process.”
- “Focus your mental energy on activities that directly contribute to your practice’s success and your professional growth.”
- “Periodically review your workload and your productivity. Reflect on what’s working and what isn’t and be willing to adjust your strategies accordingly.”
