“Know Brainers Brainpower of none: When you hit a mental wall, quiet your mind to regain brain energy and find fresh solutions. Learn to use silence to solve perplexing problems and think deeply. Brainpower of one: Work on one thing at a time. Sequential-task instead of multitask. Secondly, strategically block a large percentage of incoming information and consciously know what to select. Brainpower of two: Every day identify and dedicate the majority of time to your two most important “elephant” tasks.”

“Track your own multitasking. For three days do the following: • Chart the length of time per day you are able to focus on one and only one task without doing another single thing at the same time. • Note how many tasks you work on longer than fifteen minutes without interruption. • Note how many sidesteps arose because you were multitasking or allowing yourself to be pulled off task by distractions. • Be aware that one of the major culprits to multitasking is the abundance of thoughts that fill your mind while you are doing something else.”
