The Hidden Cost of Mental Fatigue
Understand what causes mental fatigue and how to reset your mind.
The Experience of Mental Overfill
The mind feels full to capacity, holding more than it can comfortably contain.
Nothing spills, yet there is no room for anything new.
This moment does not empty the container.
It acknowledges fullness as it is, without urgency, without labeling it as failure or excess.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is "cognitive overfill"?
Mental Overfill is the point where your "Entry Band" is 100% full and no new meaning can be processed. It feels like "information nausea." Naming this state helps you set a "hard boundary." You realize that "reading one more thing" or "having one more talk" will actually decrease your meaning density. It is the "signal" to close all entry bands and move into a "recovery arc" where no new data is allowed.
How do I recover from "overfill"?
You need "Zero-Input Time." No screens, no books, no conversations. Allow the "overflow" to drain. In the Meaning Density Model™, overfill is a "metabolic emergency" for the integrator. By cutting off the supply of new triggers, you allow your system to finally "catch up" on its processing. This "mental fast" is the quickest way to restore your ability to feel "coherent" and "awake" again.
