Find out where your focus, resilience, and clarity are leaking.

(2 Minutes + Instant Results
+ Actionable Insights & Support)

A short, evidence-based self-assessment for people whose job depends on a clear head under pressure.

Most executives have never measured their own cognitive baseline, even though signs of burnout, decision fatigue, and declining focus tend to build slowly and go unnoticed until they're costly.

This audit takes two minutes, and the results are genuinely useful whether you're already sharp or running on fumes.

You can't out-work a dysregulated nervous system.

Why executive burnout and focus problems build up quietly, and what's actually happening

Most high performers try to push through stress with willpower alone. It works for a while. Then focus gets patchy, recovery gets slower, and decisions made under pressure start to cost more than they should. This is often the early pattern behind executive burnout, long before it looks serious enough to address.

Harvard research found that the average mind wanders for nearly 47% of waking hours.*

For people making high-stakes decisions daily, that's not a quirk, it's a real cost to output and clarity.

This audit gives you a clear, honest read on where that cost is showing up for you specifically.

*(Killingsworth & Gilbert, 2010, Science)

Five areas, fifteen questions, about two minutes.

What the cognitive audit actually measures, and why each area matters under pressure

The audit looks at five areas that matter most under sustained pressure:

 

  1. Physiological Regulation:

    How well your body recovers from stress.
     

  2. Cognitive Resilience:

    How well you let go of rumination and setbacks.
     

  3. Attentional Precision:

    How well you sustain focus on demand.
     

  4. Strategic Thinking:

    How flexible your thinking stays under pressure.
     

  5. Relational Leadership:

    How well you lead without absorbing everyone else's stress.

 

Each section gives you a score, with a plain-English explanation of what it means and a specific technique worth trying, backed by the actual research behind it.

Performance Meditation, not wellness fluff.

How to improve focus and decision fatigue using evidence-based techniques, not generic mindfulness apps.

If your results point to a few clear gaps, the answer isn't a retreat, an app, or a search for inner peace.

It's specific, evidence-based meditation training, mapped to the exact areas you need to work on. We use a five-phase framework, each phase built around a particular technique with real research behind it:

  • 1. RESET (Physiological Baseline):
    Lower cortisol and shift out of fight-or-flight.

     

  • 2. FORTIFY (Cognitive Decoupling):
    Detach from useless rumination and silence the DMN.

     

  • 3. CALIBRATE (Executive Attention):
    Radically enhance attentional precision.

     

  • 4. INNOVATE (Strategic Innovation):
    Engineer the biology required for flow states and non-linear problem-solving.

     

  • 5. INSPIRE (Relational Leadership):
    Translate neuroplastic changes into executive empathy and team trust without burnout.

The Mechanic, Not The Guru

Who's behind klarosity, and why the approach is mechanical rather than spiritual.

Simon Jones DipBSoM, Meditation Teacher

Simon spent twenty years in high-pressure corporate roles before experiencing burnout firsthand.

 

That's what sent him looking for something more rigorous than the usual wellness advice.

Now a certified meditation teacher (DipBSoM) and founder of klarosity, he works with founders, executives, and high performers to build the focus and resilience needed to operate well under real pressure.

 

No spiritual framing, just mechanics that work.

Take The Audit

15 Simple Questions. Answer Honestly. About 2 minutes. Get Instant Results + Actionable Insights & Support

Section 1: Physiological Regulation

How well your body & brain recovers from stress

Q1. After a difficult meeting or a piece of bad news, I return to a calm, focused state within 30 minutes.
Q2: I carry physical tension in my body (e.g. jaw, shoulders, chest) even during low-pressure parts of my day.
Q3: At the end of the working day, I can genuinely switch off without the day following me home.

Section 2: Cognitive Resilience

How well you let go of rumination & setbacks

Q4: When something goes wrong at work, I find myself replaying it repeatedly rather than moving on.
Q5: I can separate my own judgement from the anxiety or stress I'm feeling in a given moment.
Q6: I wake during the night or early morning with work problems running through my mind.

Section 3: Attentional Precision

How well you sustain focus on demand

Q7: I can work on a complex document or strategic problem for 45 minutes or more without checking my phone or switching tasks.
Q8: I arrive at the end of a page or a meeting and realise I've retained very little of what I just read or heard.
Q9: By mid-afternoon, I notice a significant drop in my ability to hold complex information and make sharp decisions.

Section 4: Strategic Thinking

How flexible your thinking stays under pressure

Q10: Under pressure, I default to solutions that have worked before rather than stepping back to assess whether they fit the current problem.
Q11: I find it difficult to think creatively or laterally when I'm operating at high intensity for sustained periods.
Q12: I can step back from an urgent problem and consider it from multiple angles before committing to a course of action.

Section 5: Relational Leadership

How well you lead without absorbing everyone else's stress

Q13: I absorb the stress and anxiety of my team to the point where it affects my own mood or energy.
Q14: Under sustained pressure, my management style becomes more controlling or transactional than I'd like it to be.
Q15: I can accurately read the mood, hesitation, or unspoken concerns of the people I'm in a room with.

FAQ

Common questions

What is a cognitive audit?
 

It's a short self-assessment, fifteen questions across five areas, that measures how stress and pressure are currently affecting your focus, resilience, and decision-making. It takes about two minutes and gives you an immediate, personalised score.

What are the signs of executive burnout?


Common early signs include shallow sleep, difficulty switching off after work, rumination over minor setbacks, declining focus by mid-afternoon, and a more reactive or transactional leadership style under pressure. These often build gradually rather than appearing all at once.

How is performance meditation different from mindfulness apps?


Performance meditation uses the same underlying research as mindfulness, but applies specific techniques to specific problems, focus, resilience, decision fatigue, rather than general relaxation. Each phase of the framework is built around a named technique with published research behind it.

Can meditation actually improve focus and decision-making?


Yes. Research on focused-attention meditation has shown measurable improvements in sustained attention and working memory after just a few weeks of consistent practice. The audit results link you to the specific techniques relevant to your own results.

Is this a substitute for therapy or medical treatment?


No. This audit and the meditation techniques described are complementary practices, not a substitute for professional medical or mental health advice. If you're experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, or another health concern, please speak to a doctor or qualified healthcare provider.

“One of the biggest benefits for me was learning how to shift gears more smoothly. Moving between meetings, deep work, decisions, and home life felt far less jarring. I was better able to reset and go again with a little more ease.."
