Psychological load
Psychological load refers to the mental effort and emotional strain involved in managing tasks, decisions, and responsibilities. It encompasses stress, cognitive workload, and emotional pressure that can affect focus, decision-making, and overall well-being. For example, juggling multiple assignments or facing critical decisions can increase this load. High psychological load can lead to fatigue, reduced concentration, and burnout if sustained over time. Managing psychological load involves balancing workload, seeking support, and developing coping strategies to maintain mental health and productivity.
