The Law of Limits

As we have already discussed, all systems have limits.  human beings are systems, and as such have physical, performance, emotional and mental limits.  To understand the concept of overloading, it is helpful to understand the law of limits, for overloading is a phenomenon of limits.  "Researchers," according to sociologist Alvin Toffler, "strongly agree on two basic principles:  first, that man has limited capacity; and second, that overloading the system leads to serious breakdown of performance."

Physical Limits are the easiest to recognize.  A room can hold only so much furniture.  We might put ten pieces of furniture in the room and possibly even thirty.  But we would not try to put one thousand tables and chairs in a room too small to hold them.  This would overload the room in a visibly foolish way.

To cite another example, engineers study stress loads when designing bridges, and we often see the sign "Load Limit Ahead" as we approach such a bridge.  A forty-ton truck would not attempt to cross a bridge limited to twenty-ton vehicles.  Because such physical limits are visible and measurable, humans do not commonly overload in these areas.  Few attempt to swim the pacific Ocean or to climb the stairs of the Willis Tower.

Performance Limits are related to physical limits but also introduce the factor of will.  The endpoint is not as objectively defined, and we often are not quite as willing to accept the fact that there are limits.  This is where stress factures come from--people want to push themselves beyond the limit of breakdown.

Sleep might serve as another example.  We all need sleep.  But how much?  Those who regard the need for sleep as a sign of weakness might try to push the limit and see how few hours they can get along on.  Four hours a night?  Three?  You can sleep three hours a nigh, but you are impinging on a limit and there will be consequences.

Our performance increases with increasing demand and increasing effort--but only up to a point.  Once we reach our limit, fatigue sets in, followed quickly by exhaustion and collapse.
