The Game-Changing Guide to Eliminating Cognitive Overload at Work

Reducing Cognitive Overload

LONDON, UK: International Speaker, Corporate Transformation Expert, and Founder of Your People Power, Gina Buckney, has released her groundbreaking new book, Think of Your Mind Like a Computer, a practical, science-backed guide designed to help organisations eliminate cognitive overload and unlock higher performance across their teams.

Drawing on her background in Computer Science, neuroscience studies at Harvard, Cambridge, and UC Berkeley, and over two decades leading large-scale transformation programmes for companies such as BT, Barclays, HSBC, and Amazon, Gina introduces a revolutionary framework for optimising the human mind, the most powerful operating system in every organisation.

Solving One of the Biggest Hidden Problems in the Workplace: Cognitive Overload

Modern employees are drowning in information, constant notifications, and increasing pressure. Cognitive overload is now one of the leading causes of:

  • Reduced productivity

  • Poor decision-making

  • Emotional reactivity

  • Burnout

  • Stress-related absenteeism

  • Declining engagement

While companies invest in digital transformation and new tools, many overlook the system that powers it all:

The human brain.

Gina’s book uses simple, intuitive computer analogies, clearing the cache, closing tabs, increasing RAM (mental capacity), upgrading outdated mental software, to show employees how to think more clearly and work more efficiently.

A Practical Toolkit for Every Level of the Organisation

Think of Your Mind Like a Computer provides actionable exercises, quick wins, and easy-to-implement strategies that help employees:

  • Reduce mental clutter

  • Improve focus and concentration

  • Increase emotional intelligence under pressure

  • Make better decisions

  • Build resilience during organisational change

  • Enhance productivity without sacrificing wellbeing

It is designed for professionals working in high-pressure industries, from financial services and healthcare to tech, retail, and public sector environments.

A Scalable Solution for HR, L&D, and Wellbeing Leads

The book offers corporate teams:

  • A shared language to discuss stress and performance

  • A low-cost wellbeing resource that can be rolled out organisation-wide

  • A science-based tool to support mental health and resilience

  • A framework that enhances leadership, communication, and team culture

  • Content ideal for workshops, away days, lunch-and-learns, and development programmes

Many organisations are already integrating Gina’s methods into their leadership pathways and wellbeing initiatives.

A Message From Gina Buckney

“Cognitive overload is silently draining organisations of their performance potential. It’s one of the biggest hidden productivity blockers in today’s workplaces, yet it often goes unnoticed because we normalise stress, overwhelm, and multitasking as part of modern working life.

We upgrade our technology constantly, investing in faster systems, automation, AI, and digital transformation. But very rarely do we stop to upgrade the most powerful operating system we own: our mind. For years, I saw talented people held back not by capability, but by mental overload, competing priorities, and outdated thinking patterns that limited their clarity, creativity, and resilience.

This book gives people a simple, relatable way to understand how their mind works, using computer analogies that make neuroscience accessible. When we learn to clear the cache, close the background tabs, increase our mental RAM, and install healthier thought patterns, everything changes. Performance improves. Stress reduces. Emotional regulation strengthens. Decision-making becomes sharper. And most importantly, people start to feel more in control of their inner world.

My goal with Think of Your Mind Like a Computer is to help individuals and organisations optimise human performance in a sustainable, healthy way. When employees understand how to manage cognitive load and strengthen their mental operating system, they don’t just work better, they live better. That’s the transformation I hope this book brings.”
