Why working with AI agents is so tiring (and what to do about it)
Summary
The article analyzes cognitive fatigue from working with AI agents, framing it as “agent hopping” rather than conventional multitasking. It uses kitchen-workflow metaphors and research on task switching to explain the fatigue and offers practical practices (clear briefs, a ticket rail, limiting work-in-progress, deliberate breaks) to manage AI-assisted work more effectively.
