Batch similar shallow tasks together to minimize the cognitive overhead of task-type switching and reduce attention residue accumulation.
Why This Is a Principle
Grounded in attention residue from task switching (Task-switching generates attention residue that persists…) and switching cost between task types (Task switching between different types of cognitive work…). The principle prescribes batching as a strategy to reduce cumulative switching costs. Actionable (process all emails, then all approvals, then all updates) and applies broadly.
