Our attention has never been as overwhelmed as it is today. Many of us recognize that our brains struggle to multitask. Despite this, we feel compelled to take action anyway even as we fill each moment of our lives to the brim with mindless distraction.
Hyperfocus provides profound insights into how you’ll best take charge of your attention to achieve a greater sense of purpose and productivity during the day.The most recent neuroscientific research reveals that our brain has two powerful modes that can be unlocked when we use our attention effectively: a focused mode (hyperfocus), which is the foundation for being highly productive, and a creative mode (scatterfocus), which enables us to connect ideas in novel ways.
Hyperfocus helps you access each of the two mental modes so you’ll concentrate more deeply, think more clearly, and work and live more deliberately on a daily basis. Chris Bailey examines such topics such as:- identifying and dealing with the four key types of distraction and interruption;
- establishing a clear physical and mental environment in which to work;
- controlling motivation and working fewer hours to turn out to be more productive;
- taking time-outs with intention;
- multitasking strategically; and
- learning when to pay attention and when to let your mind wander wherever it wants to.
By transforming how you consider your attention, Hyperfocus reveals that the more effectively you learn to take charge of it, the better you are able to manage every aspect of your life.
