We can tweak our environment to make the most of our attention and be more productive: we can fine-tune our scheduling strategy, use “time-boxing” and cut down on distractions. It’s easier to get into a “flow state” when we focus on one task at a time without distraction.• Cognitive biases are distortions in our judgments and perceptions, and can undermine our ability to think clearly, especially if they’re unconscious. To make more objective decisions, acknowledge that you may be susceptible to bias, seek contrary perspectives, reframe the problem and don’t act in haste. • Finally, we can use our need for identity to support good habit formation by seeking communities with shared values and deliberately attaching that identity to ourselves. #AbbinkHarris #Abuhamdeh #AdamGrant #ANeuralNetworkFramework #BandwagonEffect #BoundaryManagement #Csikszentmihalyi #RussellNewton #NewtonMG #PeterHollins #TheScienceofSelf #AttentionManagementPeterHollins
