Got Controlled Interruptions?
Got Controlled Interruptions?
Speed Read
Let’s agree about one thing, Americans are taught by their parents, teachers,
and employers this powerful truth – Always, without exception – Finish-What-
You-Start, right?
How about the second great American rule? Always, without exception:
Look-Folks-In-The-Eye – when you speak to anyone. Why? It seals the bond of sincerely because somehow, evil folks – villains – cannot look you in the orbs when
they weasel, equivocate, tergiversate, and lie. Can they learn to look you…?
Law of Diminishing Returns
Bear with me, neuroscientific research at University of California, San Diego
August 2009, destroys the proof for continuing what you start, until the end.
It suggest we Break-It-Up, have Time-Outs, Controlled Interruptions - for optimal results.
Wait. If there is one thing polls indicate with 100% results one way, and none the
other, is we universally hate commercials. When an ad blocks my web page, it sets
my teeth on edge, and causes cortisol, the stress hormone to flow for fight-not-flight.
Dr. Leif D. Nelson, has published unexpected results in the Journal of Consumer Research, volume 36. In a nutshell, Homo sapiens adapt quickly to new good and bad circumstances.
The fancy word is Habituation: after a number of exposures to anything – great music, brilliant lectures, and tv without commercials, our brain stops flushing itself with the pleasure neurotransmitter – dopamine.
And we stop paying attention. The stimulus just does not register anymore. Our pleasure begins to plateau through excessive familiarity. Our feelings habituate.
So What
In love the first time is Magic, the second time, lively, and the third time, merely
routine. And our brain hates routine, and just plain ignores the stimuli.
Dr. Nelson goes on to say, tv commercials improve (see fMRIs) our enjoyment of
the show because it interrupts the adaptation factor of the brain.
Could even geniuses have a limited attention span, and after the climax, it is all-downhill?
When there are no commercials engineered to interrupt the flow, folks break up
the uniformity by getting up for a liquid refreshment, share a telephone call, or
hold a lively conversation with a co-participant. Is it a subconscious act?
Coda
If you want to learn new knowledge or skills faster, with improved long-term memory, and powerful attention and concentration, do not finish-what-you-start.
Tell me, does this apply to school kids learning, or executives in their career track, or both? Right, both.
New Rules
Start it, go for ten-minutes, and stop. Do another unrelated activity, and return to the original learning, writing, reading or listening for another fifteen-minutes. You will feel refreshed and find new pleasure and originality in your task afterward.
The secret to reducing habituation, adaptation, and diminishing results is called –
Controlled Interruptions. Make it new again.
Why do we have habituation? In order to tell apart between relevant, meaningful experiences, and trivia from the unchanging background. Example: adults and kids
stop gazing at a visual stimulus, the longer it is presented. The brain desires novelty.
Improved Attention Span
Everyone but Arne Duncan, new Secretary of Education, believes teenagers are lazy, spoiled, and have limited attention span. He is changing the name of former
President Bush’s education reform law from - No Child Left Behind, to Your Child’s Left Behind. No matter, we need at least one new strategy for better Attention Span.
Attention produces concentration, the skill to a new behavioral result. How?
when you are motivated by the jolt of something new and exciting that grabs your interest. Sex, winning the Lotto, and competition for a promotion causes strong concentration.
Concentrating
When you are really concentrating, your PFC (Prefrontal Cortex) Executive brain is swimming in chemicals, hormones and neurotransmitters that produce Pleasure.
Specifically, Google the neurotransmitter Dopamine the pleasure chemical.
When your attentions goes South, it means Dopamine levels drop, and your brain
looks for distractions to motivate new positive behaviors.
Secret Strategy
We want to integrate your left (logic, linear, language) hemisphere, with your right (pattern recognition, spatial skills, holistic thinking and intuition)
hemisphere. Your Two Hemispheres in harmony and homeostasis, is three-times more powerful than either alone.
Take out a pen and begin to doodle the Infinity Symbol, a reclining
figure 8 with your dominant hand – for 90% of us, you use your right hand.
Draw them in a series of ten, one under the other, and about two inches wide and two-inches long. Let your eyes widen as you look at your drawings.
Now switch to using your left hand to draw a series of ten more infinity symbols. Remember, your left hemisphere controls the right side of your body, and your right hemisphere runs the left side of your body.
In the two-minutes it takes, you integrate (unite) both hemispheres for increased
attention, concentration, and long-term memory. The goal of this exercise is to
widen your eye-fixation by accessing your Peripheral Vision for reading and comprehend three-words at a time instead of just one.
Endwords
The world economy is rocky and disruptive. The U.S. Gross Domestic Product
will not improve substantially until this time 2010. Is it important to have personal
growth for competitive advantage? Please recall that in the 1930s unemployment was up to 24%.
Only World War Two and the manufacturing of military supplies took up the labor slack. Today, March 2009, the U.S. has unemployment of approximately 11 million
or almost 8%. However, employment in the U.S. is 144 million.
We must help the unemployed citizen to save his home and regain their economic livelihood, but never forget there is a healthy market of 144 million with money to
spend for goods and services.
We suggest you would be more competitive by reading and remembering three (3)
books, articles and reports, while your peers can hardly finish one. Personal growth
creates a definite competitive difference. Ask us how you can dominate this economy.
