Something Changed on My Account

A small change on an account can feel easy to ignore at first. It may not seem important enough to focus on.

Over time, similar changes begin to stack. Each unexplained difference adds another point of attention.

This page describes how attention cost grows faster than the change itself. The account gets checked again.

Then checked once more, without clarity arriving. Mental energy shifts toward monitoring.

The effort spent watching outweighs the size of the change.

This page does not explain why accounts change. It does not describe systems or causes.

Its purpose is recognition only.

To reflect how repeated, unclear changes can turn brief noticing into ongoing mental load.
