Technology should exist for our convenience, not for the convenience of anyone who wants to interrupt us.
from #Hyperfocus by #ChrisBailey

This resonates deeply with me. I loathe constant phone buzzing or browser notifications. Sometimes it feels like we’re slaves to the technology instead of us being the boss.

FYI the #book is not aimed at the #neurodiverse at all; my goal in reading it is to find #research-backed information that can help me understand and handle my distractions and maybe - just maybe - he’ll have some #tips that will be useful for *my* brain.

For example, knowing that it takes 29 minutes to get back on track after distracting ourselves (vs 6 minutes when distracted by someone else) quantifies the consequences of distractions. Thinking that a distraction = losing half an hour feels much more tangible.

This is me and the victim is usually my wife 😂😂😂

I’m reading #HyperFocus by #ChrisBailey, to see if there’s anything useful for #neurodiverse folk, like research on how the brain pays attention or gets distracted,

"Like an old man I run to find the shore
& the light that was in your eyes
Doesn't shine there anymore..." #chrisbailey #thesaints #ausrock #australia https://youtu.be/yYA5WdP47Y0

I'm down among the demons once again... #chrisbailey #ausrock #australia https://youtu.be/VcN-FmMgJ_0

"He's the king of the sun
The Devil in disguise
Who could have seen
That his kingdom soon would fall
A funeral pyre of dark desire
He was the king of the sun..."
Vale! #chrisbailey #australia #aussierock #punkrock https://youtu.be/yfEKzZxAzH8
