I hold everything in my head but analyze: should I externalize more? Map mental load: what I'm trying to remember vs. what's written down. Calculate: if cognitive load reduces mental capacity, what should be externalized? Show me the mental burden: these things don't need to be in your head. Give me the externalization system: capture thoughts like this. Include: what I'm holding mentally that should be written, whether mental load is reducing focus, and how to free mental space.
