HUMAN MIND CAN FOCUS ON ONE THING AT A TIME......
Posted by Vishva News Reporter on December 28, 2008

In the painting above many items exists if you try to see one at a time.....It looks balanced but it's not. Simultaneously is view as an icon and a pattern.It's the most efficient form of graphic neural stimulus. It is generic yet specific, complexity vs Complicated. It is a Presence...It brings energy into a room...It focuses and distracts at the same time...It is the most pure form of stimulation...It cleans your nervous system scrubbing away false information...It is a religion...An exploration into belief...

CURRENT LIFE MARKETS YOU TO NOT ONLY INFORMATION OVERLOAD.......
 BUT SUCKS YOU IN TO DEFOCUS YOU FROM YOUR
MOST IMPORTANT
LIFE PATH AND OBJECTIVE
BUT THE SCIENCES OF
LIFE AND CREATION
CALLED vED
TEACHES YOU

TO FOCUS ON
ONE LIFE ITEM AT A TIME AND
COMPLETE THAT LIFE ITEM
BEFORE MOVING
ON TO THE NEXT....

BECAUSE YOU MIND CAN ONLY HANDLE ONE LIFE ITEM AT A TIME....
HOWEVER MICROSECOND LONG OR YEAR LONG THAT ITEM IS......
Recent British and American studies have the following myth-breaking revelation about YOUR MIND and its working:

that doing several things simultaneously is now being compared to attention deficit disorder;

-   that workers who were “distracted by e-mail and phone calls suffer a fall in IQ more than twice that found in marijuana smokers.”


-  that constantly breaking away from tasks to respond to e-mail or text messages has essentially the same effect on alertness as missing a night’s sleep.
 

-   that children might be at risk of underachievement because of out-of-control multi-tasking.

-   that humans are “not built” to multi-task. We’re really built to focus. The moral is evident: One thing at a time.

-   
that the human brain, the latest research shows, is just not capable of performing two or more tasks simultaneously with any degree of efficiency. It gets agitated and distracted. Multi-tasking doesn’t help learning; it hinders it.

 Multi-tasking not smart

Edmonton Journal: 15 Jul 2008:  An editorial in the Montreal Gazette:

Pay attention. Turn off the TV, put down the phone, stop stirring the soup and read. This is about multi-tasking.

Hailed just a few years ago as a breakthrough in efficiency, doing several things simultaneously is now being compared to attention deficit disorder.


The human brain, the latest research shows, is just not capable of performing two or more tasks simultaneously with any degree of efficiency. It gets agitated and distracted. Multi-tasking doesn’t help learning; it hinders it.

The business world once embraced multi-tasking as a solution to demanding schedules. But the bloom is off that rose.
The study’s author, University of London psychologist Glenn Wilson, also said that :

-   A British study published in 2005 found that workers who were “distracted by e-mail and phone calls suffer a fall in IQ more than twice that found in marijuana smokers.”

-  A drop of 10 IQ points.  Let’s not even think about multi-tasking dope smokers.

-  constantly breaking away from tasks to respond to e-mail or text messages has essentially the same effect on alertness as missing a night’s sleep.

There’s more: Experts believe that children might be at risk of underachievement because of out-of-control multi-tasking.

Jordan Grafman of the U.S. Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke said this to Atlantic magazine: “Children (who) are instant messaging while doing homework, playing games online and watching TV are not going to do well in the long run.”

U.S. psychology professor Russell Poldrack warned, in New Atlantis magazine, that humans are “not built” to multi-task. “We’re really built to focus.”

The moral is evident: One thing at a time.
