Limit capture tools to 2-3 in a deliberate stack (fast capture layer + voice layer + processing layer) because more options increase decision time logarithmically while multiple inboxes fragment attention.
Why This Is a Principle
Grounds to Hick's Law of Choice Time (Hick's Law - decision time increases with options), Task-switching generates attention residue that persists (task-switching costs), and Information and attention have an inverse relationship: a (wealth of information creates poverty of attention). The lesson explicitly cites these mechanisms and prescribes the 2-3 tool limit as optimal.
