Multitasking, unitasking and efficient attention switching
Watch Craig introduce the topic of how mindfulness is vital for learning and performance.
The modern challenges for mindful awareness include being hurried and stressed, complex multitasking, and being unable to deal with distractor influence. Being able to centre, be present, proceeding through a task in a stepwise fashion, and unitasking are all ways in which we can live and work more mindfully.
The importance of efficient attention switching, as opposed to multitasking, is a vital skill for us to live more mindfully in this modern world.
