Create a ready-to-resume plan before any task switch by externalizing current cognitive state, unresolved elements, and next concrete action to close the mental loop and free working memory.

Leroy's ready-to-resume plan as actionable principle: externalize state before switching to reduce residue. Highly actionable, evidence-backed.
