What is cognitive readiness?
By Randy Salars·
Short Answer
Cognitive readiness is your baseline capacity to think and learn today—shaped by sleep, stress, and emotional state. It sets your usable range.
Why It Matters
Many “productivity problems” are actually readiness problems. When readiness is low, the same work feels heavier, takes longer, and produces more errors. The correct lever is often recovery, not pressure.
