Find Focus in a Chaotic World

If you're feeling distracted, mentally fogged, and unable to pay
attention to (or focus on if attention is in hed) the task at hand,
you're not alone. The human brain is highly susceptible to often
unproductive mind-wandering, and modern technology has only made
the problem worse. But we all know that the best work comes when
you're able to really zero in on an idea or problem for a sustained
period of time. So we need better strategies for blocking out the
external and internal noise. Dr. Amishi Jha, a neuroscientist and
professor of psychology at the University of Miami and the author
of "Peak Mind," offers recommendations based on studies of people
in some of the most high-pressure jobs in the world.
