> Having to hunt down tasks you're working on and reading through each task can create an unnecessary mental load that can be solved with a single 1 minute "ESPN sportscenter edition" summary of your current issues.

Some people indeed need spoon feeding. That above statement only strengthens my view.

Or how do we interpret "unnecessary mental load" out of the mouth of someone likely in management when it comes to simply reading a task board?

Sometimes I really wonder what most of the management is good for… Really.

Running around, having a lot of meetings, but nevertheless not knowing what is happening all around them, so they have to ask every day anew…

But now I understand: It's only a unnecessary (too height?)^^ mental load to read the task board. :-)
