Core insight: interruptions cost executives not only time but context—losing the precise constraints and mental model that made a choice coherent. The Cognitive Cache is a repeatable, 60‑second habit you run whenever work is interrupted or deferred: a single‑line decision state, three tight context tokens (assumptions, constraints, next probe), and a lightweight sensitivity tag. In ten minutes I’ll give the exact cache template, three attachment patterns (calendar stub, doc header, ticket comment) that keep context where work actually lives, and two AI patterns to rehydrate the cached state into a short brief before you resume. You’ll get practical guardrails for sensitive data, a 7‑day pilot to prove resumed‑state speed, and one immediate action: run a Cognitive Cache for your next interrupted decision and measure time to resume. Result: fewer rehash meetings, faster handoffs, and preserved judgment without bureaucracy. CTA: subscribe. Stay agentic.
