Hyper focus

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 do so anyway
while we fill each moment of our lives to the brim with mindless
distraction. Hyperfocus provides profound insights into how you
can best take charge of your attention to achieve a greater sense of
purpose and productivity throughout 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 can concentrate more deeply, think more clearly, and work
and live more deliberately every day. 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 become 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 think about your attention, Hyperfocus
reveals that the more effectively you learn to take charge of it, the
better you’ll be able to manage every aspect of your life.
