Cognitive load isn’t just about complex algorithms.
It’s also about:
- how many decisions you make
- how often you switch tools
- how much setup each task requires
For routine checks, lowering cognitive load matters more than feature richness.
That’s why I prefer tools and pages that:
- do one thing
- require no configuration
- disappear once the task is done
For example, when double-checking unit values, I sometimes use

as a quick reference and move on.
Less friction means more energy for real problems.
