Hello community.

I would like to explore some differences between intellectual limits and clarity issues when performing mental tasks.

How do you know when you've reached the limits of your intellectual reasoning ability?

Does it manifest as requiring increased effort to keep necessary information in short term memory when your performing complex, multi part tasks such as essay writing, programming, problem solving, etc?

And how do you distinguish this from issues surrounding mental clarity, focus, fogginess, or whatever similar words happen to fit?

thankyou
