Cognitive neuroscience researcher Dr. Marvin Myungwoo Chun discusses why some people more attentive than others, allowing them to perform better at school, sports, and in the workplace. He also reveals the difference in our brains that explain superior performance, and gives tips on how to enhance our focus.

    To summarize he asking to:
    1. Relax by doing anything like Yoga, Meditation etc.
    2. Unitask. i.e. Kill Multi-tasking.
    3. Simplify the tasks you are doing.

      Nikhil Arora Thanks for this, brother. I'm just 3 minutes in and I somehow find it uncomfortable to watch it all. But I couldn't take a risk of missing 10000 brain scan data. So thanks for summary.

    Your arousal can be too low even if you put in a lot of effort, especially if you suffer from trauma and dissociation. My therapist recommended breaks with fast paced exercise, cold water (drinking or on hands), bright lighting, cool rooms and strong smells. They really help a lot, I no longer feel like a zombie constantly. I actually get things done and learn, rather than spending hours every day without any results, and then getting everything done in panic at the last minute when my brain actually is awake.

    1. Relax by doing anything - breathe
    2. focus on one task
    3. Simplify the tasks you are doing.

    Summary/Crux :-
    Challenge with modern society - Information overload and Distractions.
    Instant information at our disposal is both blessing and curse.
    We are living in attention deficit disorder society/economy.
    Your brain can only handle and attend one thing at time. You productivity and performance will start to go down if you try multiple things at once.
    Tip 1 - Simplify. Try to simplify what you attend to. There is too much information, control how much information that you have to pay attention to.
    Tip - 2 - Relax. Performance and productivity decline if we are too much aroused or stressed ( Better can be understood with Yerkes-dodson curve ).
    Take deep breathing. Try Mediation/ Yoga/Prayer/Exercise / Taking a walk in garden etc.
    Tip - 3 - Unitask. Your brain performs best when you are not multitasking. Don't check your phone, social media every five minutes.

    Have ADHD. Can confirm, I get through it at work by doing one thing at a time. I finish what I start, I move radially, but I always make sure I end in a spot that makes sense to pick up from. It took me years and a lot of expertise to figure out how to do it.
    The math question at the end took me 3 seconds. It was clear that it was 0 on both sides.

    I wish someone could give beneficial advice to us single parents of high needs, highly attached children who are literally unable to unitask a majority of the time. No matter what I do (coursework, work, housework, anything), I have a young child at my heels. Constant interruptions. Constant.
    I'd pay so much for a workable solution. I'd be paying for my sanity back! :)

    • @MrRonisarkar
      @MrRonisarkar 4 роки тому +6

      Plan your day. Before planning observe your day. Most of the things will be repetitively happening on your daily life. You just don't see it yet as you don't observe properly. You say you have a kid. Good. I don't know what his age is but I am assuming he is between 5 to 10 proper age to be able to do house chores. That way he will be engaged in something as well as get a good habit of working. Don't give him heavy tasks but give him light tasks like arranging the cups and plates. At first he will be hesitant but with a little bit of strictness he will get the job done. As you say you are a single mother you already know how tough life is so preparing your child for it wouldn't be bad idea at all. Don't be overprotective with your son. And for you plan your day to day activities. Prioritize those job which are more important. Stick to the plan. Somedays you won't be able to work according to your plan. Don't worry it happens to everyone. Remember a plan is a promise to your future self. If you can't keep a promise you make to yourself how do you think you can keep promises that you make to others. So, hope this helps. And try to become rich. Money solves a lot of the problems that you might be facing right now.

    Excelent tips. I personally use them for I live with ADHD. So simplify, simplify symplify is my mantra. I`ve also deactivated all the phone notifications.. that helped a lot, now I am the one that goes to the phone.. and relax.. I am working on that everyday.. need to focus more..ups.. that is an executive dysfunction not related to attention... it is important not to confuse ADHD just thinking it is an attention problem. Excelent TT
