Principlev1

Schedule genuine recovery activities that enable

Schedule genuine recovery activities that enable psychological detachment from work rather than low-effort stimulation that maintains cognitive load.

Why This Is a Principle

Derives from executive function requiring specific recovery conditions (Directed Attention as Depletable Resource) and habituation to repeated stimuli (The nervous system habituates to repeated, predictable — but applied inversely: low-effort stimulation like phone scrolling does not provide recovery). The principle prescribes designing recovery for actual restoration (nature walks, detachment) not just absence of work. Actionable.
