It's important to get rid of TV news They put a lot of information (from someone's point of view) that distracts a lot Maybe it's obvious and the speaker did not even mention about this

Comment from : Nikita Sinha

When he gets free time and does something where less or no focus (scatter focus) needed his mind wanders But when I am doing something like that my mind starts daydreaming 😢 Now I need a video about how to stop daydreaming or creating fake scenarios in head😞

Comment from : Arslan aka arsiii

Summary brIn this talk, the speaker describes his own experience of being constantly distracted by technology and screens He conducts two experiments, one where he limits his phone use to 30 minutes a day, and another where he intentionally tries to be bored for an hour a day He finds that both experiments lead to an expansion of attention span and an increase in creative thinking He explains that our brains are overstimulated by technology and crave distraction, which is why we struggle to focus He suggests that letting our minds wander in a state of "scatter focus" can lead to more creative ideas and plans for the future He encourages people to find simple activities that allow their minds to wander and be creative

Key Pointsbr-------------------------br− Chris Bailey observed excessive screen use throughout the day br− Conducted a 30-day experiment to limit phone usage to 30 minutes daily br− Three outcomes: Increased attention span, more ideas, and future planning br− Overstimulation is a root cause of distraction, not just brain distraction br− Our brains crave distraction and reward us with dopamine br− "Boredom" can be a productive state for generating ideas and plans br− "Scatter focus" mode allows the mind to wander and create ideas br− Mind tends to wander between the past, present, and future br− We need more space and less stimulation for better focus br− Distraction is a symptom, not the enemy of focus br− Challenge to reduce mind stimulation for two weeks and observe changes br− Disconnect from the internet regularly, rediscover boredom, scatter attention br− The state of attention shapes the quality of our lives

Comment from : CHAPLET GYM WORKOUT

Motivational video! It’s not our trophies or first place medals that make us who we are, it’s the experiences we have and the lessons we learn along the way Those are what contribute to our future successes I think our ability to focus is the key to productivity, creativity, and living a meaningful lifeThanks Dr Stephen for the very useful information!🙌❤

Comment from : Aydin

So clear and interesting I had the same experienced, having my brain crammed of information: when your mind and your body sent you these kind of signals (out of focus, attention dropping) you have to take a rest and, above all, to detox from your personal devices
