Do You Find It Hard To Stay Focused?

Have you ever had your computer lock up when you have opened too many files or programs at once?

Sometimes when we try to multi-task, we may actually freeze up, lock up or quit performing at our peak.

Researchers have studied human multi-tasking for the past 25 years or so and have found that the brain cannot fully focus when multi-tasking. We take longer to complete tasks, and are predisposed to error.

The pressure to get more and more done, and toggle between one task and another creates a great deal of stress and pressure on the mind and body. Developing the ability to focus completely on a single task can help in our energy management.

We have become like junkies in many ways, by needing a ‘fix’. We check our emails, notices and webpages out of curiosity. By setting time aside for these activities, we fill our curiosity, yet we are more likely to stay on task and complete that task more efficiently and effectively
