I was once told that we can only hold 7 things in our heads at once, especially smart people might manage 9; this was by a psychologist that I respect- whether its true or not I am not certain. He was using it as an argument to either condense the array of things I was thinking about into smaller decisions, or to make decisions and move on instead of letting them rot my brain.

It was good advice for me.
