According to a CIA expert, when faced with overwhelming tasks, a state called task saturation, your cognitive ability decreases, and stress and anxiety increase, leading to unproductivity and negative thoughts ("head trash"). To combat this, the CIA suggests a simple strategy: subtract two from the number of tasks you think you can handle, thereby increasing resources for fewer tasks and boosting productivity and momentum. In moments of extreme task saturation or crisis, the key is operational prioritization, which means identifying and completing the next fastest task to build momentum and regain control. This approach, rooted in evolutionary survival instincts, helps overcome feelings of being overwhelmed by focusing on small, immediate actions.

Researchers found that people with lower incomes had more stress-related brain activity, which was linked with greater inflammation in the body.
Those with more inflammation had a higher risk of heart attack and other heart problems over the following years.
This stress-driven inflammation may account for almost a third of the increased risk of heart disease in people with lower incomes.
