Attention Span and How It Helps To Avoid Boredom

Have you also felt that it has been a convention to feel overwhelmed/overworked?

We feel dissatisfied about what we are doing, we need more time, and think that we cannot devote ourselves to each aspect of life.  This is actually a miscomprehension of how the brain actually reacts/works. We can manage multiple tasks simultaneously, and succeed. 

Then, how can we deal with this issue?

The answer is - more attention span. Remember when you reduced your screen time while preparing for significant exams because you needed to have more focus on your studies, more effort on them, and this is how the attention span works. 

However, in most cases, we stay distracted, and unable to concentrate. This is not because of laziness or irresponsibility - it is our brain's likelihood to be distracted.  Our brains crave distraction. Distraction is not the enemy of focus - it may just lessen it. We can do homework (focus) and still listen to our favourite music (distraction). 

In short, we need more attention space for deep work. How? In the next post, I will write about steps to take - stay tuned!
