Throughout his experiments and #research, Chris Bailey came across many little-known #insights into how we #focus (a key element of #productivity), including the surprising idea that focus isn't so much a state of heightened #awareness (as we'd assume), but a balance between two frames of #mind. The most recent #neuroscientific research on #attention reveals that our #brain has two powerful modes that can be unlocked when we use our attention well: a focused mode (#hyperfocus), which is the foundation for being highly #productive, and a #creative mode (#scatterfocus), which enables us to connect #ideas in novel ways. Hyperfocus helps readers unlock both, so they can #concentrate more deeply, think more clearly, and work and live more deliberately.
