Periagoge
Scenario

When teams avoid discussing the cognitive cost of constant interruption

Our team does retrospectives but we never talk about how much mental energy we're losing to context switching and notification overwhelm because it feels too personal or like we're making excuses. Everyone is exhausted but we only discuss project timelines not the cognitive load of trying to focus in this environment.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group cannot address what they will not acknowledge: that their attention itself has become the scarce resource.
