WHERE ARE YOU PUTTING YOUR ATTENTION?
Every second there’s up to 11,000,000 bits of data coming into your brain. But for convenience, let’s average it to 500,000 bits per second. It’s coming into your brain from the outside world through your sensors, and from your inside world, from inside your body. Add to that phone notifications, emails, people dropping by your desk or kids tugging at your sleeves. We somehow manage to get stuff done.
With all of this happening, how are you to build relationships with colleagues, loved ones or produce your best work.
We would suggest picking one area that you would like to give your focus and build on. Carve out time for it and protect this time. Be present in the moment, be aware of the conversations, give others your full attention, be mindful when your thoughts wander and gently bring them back on track.
