    About concentration/attention

    • concentration means bundling of attention
    • it take some minutes to get in a concentration mode
    • we cannot multi-task for topics that are similar

    Try

    • avoid distractions
    • project future consequences of your behavior
    • plan for daily one hour without distractions - and practice it regularly

    Creativity

    Nixen - do nothing and let you mind wander. This leads to our Default Mode Network taking over:

    • creating associations
    • opens room for new solutions to problems
