We have a unique brain. The back part of the brain is responsible for the visual process. On the sleep side is the part of the brain that perceives pain, memory and emotions. With the front part of the brain, we make plans and think about the future. From the cradle onwards we are constantly learning new things. We teach our children arithmetic, (foreign) language and geography. We think this is all right. But if you look, we miss a very important thing. People's brains develop up to the age of 21. So what we are doing is giving children knowledge, but we are not paying attention to the literal brain development at all. And that literal brain development has to be stimulated.

Working memory function brain
A working memory function is the basis of intellectual capacity. You get information from the outside in that sticks, and the brain does something with it and gives it back with an edited version and that is how you interact with your working environment. This is how we add quality to our work process. The brain likes to receive information from the outside instead of having to think about it itself. So we need to create a digital world where information is pre-cooked from the outside in and add our own value.
Another thing to avoid is cognitive over-stimulation. We can only think for four hours a day. If you exceed that capacity and the workload becomes too great, a process will start in the brain in which stress hormones are released. If, as an employer, you offer a bearing load of 99% of your limit for overstimulation, then there is nothing wrong with you and you function healthily and mentally fit. If you exceed that load, 101% or 360% doesn't matter much, your brain will give a very specific reaction and stress hormones will be released. A small amount of stress hormone is not bad, but if you are over-stimulated for too long, concentration decreases, muscle pain increases and the energy system runs empty. You have then exceeded your carrying capacity.
