Divide it and your superhero power weakens as if Green Kryptonite has been dropped into your pocket without you noticing...Give full attention to something and it happens. It develops. It starts working. Don't know how to cook? Probably never given it any attention. Pretty knowledgeable on baseball? You probably give it regular attention. The subtle point is that simply by giving attention fast progress can be made. It's worth considering how you can:
- trigger attention: make a forward note in your schedule to give attention to your finances, or garden or...
- give undivided attention: remove all distractions, especially electronic ones; productivity and creativity will soar.
- maintain sustained attention: understand the bigger picture of what you are trying to do e.g. not just pass this exam but get on the first rung of your career.
- switch attention: take a 5 minute walk to clear the head and then return to the new topic
- improve attention: see 2.
