Sound familiar? That’s because the brain isn’t wired to multitask, says psychologist and science journalist Daniel Goleman. In this video from BigThink, Goleman talks about how the brain is unable to work on parallel tasks at once, instead switching rapidly from one thing to the next. As a result, our concentration levels drop each time we attempt to come back to a task. With more distractions at your fingertips than ever before, focused attention has become “an endangered species.” Luckily, researchers are finding that as little as 10 minutes of meditation a day can help turn the tide, and these benefits can be observed from the moment a person begins their practice.
