Hyperfocus
By the author of How To Calm Your Mind- Chris Bailey, a practical guide to managing your attention—your most powerful resource for getting things done, becoming more creative, and living a meaningful life.
The media has never been more focused than it is today. Many people acknowledge that their brains struggle to multitask. Despite this, they feel compelled to do so while filling every moment of their lives with mindless distraction. Hyperfocus offers profound insights into how to best control your attention throughout the day in order to achieve a greater sense of purpose and productivity.
According to the most recent neuroscientific research, the 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 allows people to connect ideas in novel ways. Every day, hyperfocus allows you to access both mental modes, allowing you to concentrate more deeply, think more clearly, and work and live more deliberately. Chris Bailey looks at topics like identifying and dealing with the four major types of distraction and interruption; creating a clear physical and mental environment in which to work; controlling motivation and working fewer hours to become more productive; taking intentional time-outs; multitasking strategically; and learning when to pay attention and when to let your mind wander wherever it wants to.
Hyperfocus reveals that the more effectively you learn to take charge of your attention, the better you will be able to manage every aspect of your life.
