Free You’re Not Burned Out, You’ve Got Context Obesity 2025

a lot of “burnout” is actually overloaded working memory: too many open loops, too many tabs, too many systems.

ai + courses + prompt lists often increase the mess: more drafts, more decisions, more unfinished context.

ai amplifies whatever it lands in: clean process → real leverage; chaotic process → louder chaos.

fix it in three layers: capture (dump unfinished loops), structure (burn/delegate/keep), personal system prompt (3 rules you actually follow).

you don’t need a new tool. you need fewer active fronts and a clearer operating system.
