Separate activities by pipeline stage—drafting activities…
Separate activities by pipeline stage—drafting activities in draft stage only, structural review activities in review stage only—to prevent cognitive interference between incompatible operations.
Why This Is a Principle
Grounded in ego depletion (Directed Attention as Depletable Resource), attention residue (Task-switching generates attention residue that persists…), and creation-evaluation interference (Creation and evaluation are distinct cognitive operations…). The principle prescribes temporal separation of incompatible cognitive operations. Actionable across any work requiring both generation and evaluation.
