Cognitive Complexity
The last set of things is, imo, a large part of the issues I have.
Part of me hates the idea that I should turn off cognitive complexity. However, I have to admit that my thought process has become incredibly complicated and unwieldy, making it hard for me to focus on particular tasks at hand. There is a good chance that it has become more of a liability than an asset. I believe it was an asset when i was younger, and my thought processes hadn't developed so many automatic tangents and facets.
But now, I need to "downsize." My though process has become too "bureaucratic" and has too many connections across boundaries and has little hierarchy. Every thought brings up too many other thoughts, its hard to focus on anything.
I have a decent take on the rapid response problem, and the closure problem (by themselves). Clinical decision making, is what I call it. That is knowing the best course of action based on current analysis, and taking action when required. Unfortunately, the other issues almost always means that my analysis is not as good as it was when I was younger and more cognitively simple.
The main question is:
What to do "[w]hen the environment or organizational culture is incompatible with complexity[?]"
