Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I feel exhausted even on days when I don't have a lot of "work" to do?
Your mind is performing "Quiet Math." Even when you aren't active, your Status & Control system is silently tracking the "unclosed loops" in your future and the "un-landed" events of your past. This internal accounting consumes significant metabolic energy. In the Meaning Density Model™, capacity is not just about what you are doing, but about the "total volume" of what you are holding in your active memory. The math is always running in the background.
How can I stop this "internal accounting" from draining me?
Move the math to an external "ledger." When you feel that phantom exhaustion, write down everything your brain is "tracking." By externalizing the list, you signal to your Safety system that it no longer needs to use active RAM to hold that data. This "ledgering" reduces the background processing load, immediately freeing up capacity. In DojoWell, we believe that a list isn't just a tool for productivity; it’s a structural relief for a tired integrator.
