Teams and orgs routinely add new practices, rituals, and tools without ever asking what should be stopped in exchange. The result is cognitive overload: everyone is nominally following more processes, but no one has the bandwidth to do any of them well. WIP limits address this for work items; the same discipline is largely missing for practices themselves.
A concrete forced-tradeoff question John Cutler poses to teams that keep piling on new rituals and practices without shedding old ones: before adding anything new, the team must name what it will stop doing to make room for it. The question directly counters cognitive overload by making subtraction an explicit, required step rather than an afterthought.
