🧠 1 Insight — Why Cognitive Overload Isn't Just Mental

You wake up knowing what matters.

But within an hour, you're managing emails, fielding requests, remembering yesterday's tasks — trying to hold space for what actually moves your business forward.

By noon, you're exhausted — not from doing too much, but from holding too much.

Here's what most productivity advice gets wrong:

Overwhelm isn't a time management problem. It's a nervous system problem.

In psychology, there's the Zeigarnik effect — your brain's tendency to hold onto unfinished tasks. Every open loop, every "I'll get back to this later" is quietly draining energy in the background.

Here's what neuroscience shows:

When your mind holds too many open loops, your body responds like it's facing physical threat.

Your brain stays locked in beta wave dominance — active thinking, mental busyness, the "always on" state.

You can't access the alpha and theta waves that support creativity and flow (the brain states we explored last month).

You've felt this: wired-but-tired, shallow breathing, chest tightness — even when you're "just sitting at your desk."

You're not broken. You're not "bad at focus."

In the era of digital overwhelm, many of us experience what feels like ADHD — even without a diagnosis.

The fragmentation. The mental noise. The constant sense you're forgetting something.

That's not a personal failing. That's a nervous system responding to an environment it wasn't designed for.

The shift:

Cognitive overload isn't something you discipline your way out of. It's something you design your way through.

🤖 1 System — LLM Custom Prompts as Your Thinking Partner

What if you had an assistant who could:

  • sort through mental clutter
  • identify what actually matters today
  • release what's not yours to carry right now

That's where LLMs come in.

An LLM (Large Language Model) is AI that can have a conversation with you.

You may have heard of ChatGPT. But here's what most people miss:

LLMs aren't just for writing emails. They can be designed to think with you — not just for you.

Through custom prompts built into ChatGPT — specialized thinking partners — you can create AI assistants designed for the overwhelm we just talked about.

These prompts act like:

  • a clarity coach when your thoughts are swirling
  • a decision filter when everything feels urgent
  • an external brain when your mind is holding too much

These prompts help your brain offload, organize, and clarify — so your nervous system can stop tracking everything at once.

I'm in the ADHD AI Superpower class taught by White Beard, learning to use custom AI prompts as daily nervous system support. Not productivity hacks. Support systems.

There are different types for different moments:

  • Clarity prompts — when thoughts are tangled
  • Priority prompts — when everything feels urgent
  • Idea-capture prompts — when your mind is racing
  • Reset prompts — when you need to recalibrate

Today, I'm introducing one that addresses the cognitive overload from the Insight section:

Your Superpower Custom Prompt: The Priority Decoder

Designed for when you're staring at everything on your plate and don't know where to start.

What it does:

  • Takes your overwhelming brain dump
  • Shows what's actually urgent vs. what just feels loud
  • Surfaces what aligns with your bigger goals
  • Gives permission to release what can wait

Why it works:

  • Doesn't judge the mess — helps you sort through it
  • Externalizes what you're holding so you can see clearly
  • Reduces decision fatigue

👉 Try The Priority Decoder here:
https://chatgpt.com/g/g-69728b0d776881919540ddded9fe706f-the-priority-decoder

You don't need to be tech-savvy. You just need to be willing to let something else hold the weight for a moment.

Hesitant about AI? This is a gentle start — it helps you see your thinking, not replace it.

(Discovered through White Beard's ADHD AI Superpower class.)


💬 Shilpa’s POV

Working with AI LLMs is a practice, not a perfect solution — results will vary.
I use a variety of LLMs depending on the task, and I'll share more about my approach in future newsletters.
If you're just starting, ChatGPT is a gentle entry point — but stay open and curious.
It's okay to challenge the results, ask follow-up questions, and refine what the AI gives you.
The goal isn't to accept everything it outputs — it's to use it as a thinking partner, not a replacement for your own discernment.

💛 1 Aligned Application — The Mental Offload Practice

Here's how to use The Priority Decoder today:

Step 1: Brain dump (3 minutes)

  • Open a blank page or note
  • Write down everything your mind is holding — tasks, worries, ideas, half-thoughts, all of it
  • Don't organize. Don't judge. Just release.

Step 2: Offload to your AI thinking partner

  • Open The Priority Decoder
  • Copy your brain dump into the chat
  • Ask: "What actually needs my attention today?"

Step 3: Notice what shifts in your body

After you receive the response, take one slow breath and notice:

  • Does your chest feel lighter?
  • Do your shoulders drop?
  • Does your mind feel less crowded?
  • Can you see more clearly what's urgent vs. what can wait?

Your nervous system wasn't designed to be your project manager.

When you offload what you're holding, you create space for what actually matters.
