"Harness your mind's innate tendency to wander, stall, rest, and unfocus and become more productive--in the boardroom, living room, or classroom. To finish tasks and achieve goals, most people believe that more focus is the solution. We rely on to-do lists, calendar reminders, noise-blocking headphones, and sometimes medication to help us concentrate--even though these tactics often fail to substantially improve productivity. Drawing on the latest brain research, compelling stories from his psychological practice, and colorful examples of counterintuitive success from sports, business, education, and the arts, neuroscientist Srini Pillay, M.D., challenges traditional ideas about productivity, revealing the lasting, positive benefits of adding deliberate and regular unfocus to your repertoire. A fascinating tour through brain wavelengths and rhythm, mindsets, and mental relaxation, Tinker Dabble Doodle Try demonstrates how specific kinds of planned unfocus stimulate cognitive calmness, jumpstart productivity, enhance innovation, inspire creativity, improve long-term memory, and, of course, help you stay on target. Tinkering with ideas and with things releases your mind to wander from a state of stuckness into a possibility frame of mind, triggering neural connections and new insights. Dabbling in a new endeavor--whether a hobby or fantasy--disrupts your habitual and reactive thinking, helping you find new solutions to old problems. Doodling can help you tap into another brain frequency to remove obstacles and create opportunities and inspiration. With techniques for training the brain to unfocus, concepts for scheduling busy lives, and ideas for controlling this new cognitive-toggling capability, Tinker Dabble Doodle Try will change how you think about daydreaming, relaxing, leaving work unfinished, and even multitasking. What you'll discover is a greater freedom, a deeper intelligence, and a more profound joy in your life"-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

And more often than not, even I am surprised by what I find.
With the modern world insisting we become spectators every waking moment, I understand how you can be so caught up in your electronics that you are rude to your friends, dining companions, co-workers, or strangers you should be interacting with, but fail to recognize as being important.
I think the central concept here is many people have given up their right to self-control and fallen into the trap of being connected all the time. The joke is, being connected virtually means disconnecting in actuality.
In the military we learned about seeing in the dark. With a very limited light source as your point of reference, it is difficult to see the thing you are looking for if you stare right at it. However, by looking gently away from the object your are trying to see, by looking just to the left or right, you allow your peripheral vision to take over and you can make out the thing to a greater degree.
Same principle here. Stop focusing so hard on what you are trying to achieve and perhaps you might find the correct path to your destination. ( )
