Recommendation
Because many people haven’t learned to hone their focus and attention, says neuroscience professor Amishi P. Jha, they remain unaware that they remain unaware. Jha studies the human attention system, and her research reveals that as little as 12 minutes of mindfulness training each day can dramatically improve your ability to focus. Your problem isn’t your phone or your inbox, Jha says; rather, it’s your lack of awareness of your mind’s thought processes. Jha recommends mindfulness to increase self-awareness, to stay on task and to better remember the moments you want to savor.
