Nueva edición revisada de Hyperfocus, una guía práctica para manejar tu atención: el recurso más poderoso que tienes para hacer las cosas, ser más creativo y vivir una vida con sentido Nuestra atención nunca ha estado tan sobrecargada como lo está en la actualidad. Nuestros cerebros se esfuerzan para realizar múltiples tareas a la vez, mientras ocupamos cada momento de nuestras vidas hasta el límite con distracciones sin sentido. Las investigaciones neurocientíficas más recientes revelan que nuestro cerebro tiene dos poderosos modos de actuar cuando usamos nuestra atención de manera efectiva: un modo enfocado (hyperfocus), que es la base para ser altamente productivos, y un modo crea¬tivo (scatterfocus), que nos permite conectar ideas de forma novedosa. Aprenderás a: Identificar y tratar con los cuatro tipos clave de distracción e interrupción. Establecer un entorno físico y mental claro en el cual trabajar. Controlar la motivación y trabajar menos horas para ser más productivos. Hacer pausas intencionadamente. Aprender cuándo prestar atención y cuándo dejar que tu mente deambule por donde quiera. ******* New revised edition of Hyperfocus, a practical guide to managing your attention: the most powerful resource you have to get things done, be more creative and live a meaningful life. Our attention has never been as overwhelmed as it is today. Many of us recognize that our brains struggle to multitask. Despite this, we feel compelled to do so anyway while we fill each moment of our lives to the brim with mindless distraction. Hyperfocus provides profound insights into how you can best take charge of your attention to achieve a greater sense of purpose and productivity throughout the day. The most recent neuroscientific research reveals that the brain has two powerful modes that can be unlocked when we use our attention effectively: a focused mode (hyperfocus), which is the foundation for being highly productive, and a creative mode (scatterfocus), which enables us to connect ideas in novel ways. Hyperfocus helps you access each of these two mental modes so you can concentrate more deeply, think more clearly, and work and live more deliberately every day. Chris Bailey examines topics such as: - identifying and dealing with the four key types of distraction and interruption; - establishing a clear physical and mental environment in which to work; - controlling motivation and working fewer hours to become more productive; - taking time-outs with intention; - multitasking strategically; and - learning when to pay attention and when to let your mind wander wherever it wants to. By transforming how you think about your attention, Hyperfocus reveals that the more effectively you learn to take charge of it, the better you'll be able to manage every aspect of your life.
'Cómo calmar tu mente' ofrece un conjunto de estrategias accesibles respaldadas por la ciencia que revelan cómo el camino hacia una vida menos ansiosa y más productiva pasa directamente por la calma. Cuando el experto en productividad Chris Bailey descubrió que estaba estresado y agotado porque se exigía demasiado, se dio cuenta de que no tenía derecho a dar consejos sobre productividad sin aprender cuándo y cómo frenar. Los consejos de productividad funcionan, y los necesitamos ahora más que nunca, pero es igual de importante que también desarrollemos nuestra capacidad para la calma. Al encontrar la calma y superar la ansiedad, no solo nos sentimos más cómodos en nuestra propia piel, sino que invertimos en la pieza que falta y que permite que nuestros esfuerzos sean sostenibles a lo largo del tiempo, la calma. Construimos un depósito de energía más profundo y expansivo al que podemos recurrir a lo largo del día, y tenemos mayores recursos mentales a nuestra disposición no solo para hacer un buen trabajo, sino también para vivir una buena vida. ***************** It took an on-stage panic attack for productivity expert Chris Bailey to recognize how critical it is to invest in calm at the same time that we invest in becoming more productive. Productivity advice works--and we need it now more than ever--but it's just as vital that we develop our capacity for calm. By finding calm and overcoming anxiety, we don't just feel more comfortable in our own mind--we build a deeper, more expansive reservoir of energy to draw from throughout the day. The pursuit of calm ultimately leads us to become more engaged, focused, and deliberate--while making us more satisfied with our lives. And because calm saves us time by making us more productive, we don't even need to feel guilty about the time we spend investing in it. How to Calm Your Mind is our crucial guide to achieving calm, navigating anxiety, and staving off burnout. It explains how our digital world drains us, and what we can do to abate the hidden sources of stress that burden our days. Bailey has learned to embrace the analog world and stimulation fasts, to use the science of savoring to become more focused and present, and to relax without guilt--and he shows us how we can reclaim calm, too. In an anxious world, investing in calm might be the best productivity strategy around.
Nuestra atenci n nunca ha estado tan abrumada como hoy. Muchos de nosotros reconocemos que nuestros cerebros luchan para hacer varias tareas a la vez. A pesar de ello, nos sentimos obligados a hacerlo de todos modos mientras llenamos cada momento de nuestras vidas hasta el borde de una distracci n sin sentido. Hyperfocus proporciona una visi n profunda de c mo podemos hacernos cargo de esa atenci n para lograr un mayor sentido de prop sito y productividad a lo largo del d a.

This book illuminates the lived experience of a group of primary school children engaged in virtual world play during a year-long after-school club. Shaped by post-structuralist theory and New Literacy Studies, it outlines a playful, participatory and emergent methodological approach, referred to as 'rhizomic ethnography'. This 'hybrid' text uses both words and images to describe the fieldsite and the methodology, demonstrating how children's creation of a digital community through Minecraft was shaped by the both the game and their wider social and cultural experiences. Through the exploration of various dimensions of the club, including visual and soundscape data, the author demonstrates the 'emergent dimension of play'. It will be of interest and value to researchers of children's play, as well as those who explore visual methods and design multimodal research outputs.

What Your Hands Have Done looks at how life spent in a close-knit fishing family in rural Prince Edward Island marks a person. The book is rooted in PEI but moves from there to Toronto where the malaise of life proves to be unbound to the sameness of small-town days spent hauling gear on the Atlantic or toiling in rust-red potato fields.
Bailey examines the world around him from the inside, observing the minute to account for the vast. These poems are laid bare and free of ornament, revealing the hard-won wisdom just below the surface:
She was there, cooked for you. Helped clean
the mess you'd become from decades
spent on your father's ocean hauling lobsters
from its depths, gulping down the sea air.
Even when the booze was too much,
she knew you were more than the vomit
caked to your shirt. Less than confessions
made beneath the red summer moon.
This book brings together academics and policy practitioners to provide new insights into the field of cultural governance, exploring its contemporary dynamics, dilemmas and challenges.
