Team Cognitive Health playbook/Module 3 · Cognitive offloading
Day 27 / 100 · Cognitive offloading · AI-free reps
Practise without the net.
Athletes train without the aids they compete with. Short, deliberate reps without AI keep the underlying skill alive.
What
Small & Deliberate
- A bug, a query, a design sketch
- Real work, sized to 30–45 min
- Targets a core skill (Day 26)
When
Low Stakes
- Never on a deadline
- Regular, like a fortnightly slot
- Opt-in, not enforced
How
Try First, Then Compare
- Solve it yourself first
- Then ask the AI
- Compare: what did it see that you missed?
