Kindle Notes & Highlights
in trying to give everyone our attention, we are actually robbing every one of our attention.
1. When you switch back and forth between more than one task that requires your attention, you are utilizing your working memory, which is a limited resource. It’s not the same as walking and chewing gum, and 2. Constantly engaging your brain in this way does not allow your brain time to process and absorb information like it could otherwise.
“That deep silence has a melody of its own, a sweetness unknown amid the harsh discords of the world's sounds.” ― Paul Brunton
