Diffused Mode Vs Focused Mode Thinking

Use both efficiently.

Focus, as we traditionally define it, is doing one task or project, while minimizing time and attention on anything else. It is maintaining a singular point of attention when the brain concentrates its abilities in the prefrontal cortex, ignoring all extraneous information. It is in this state of flow, when high-quality material progress happens the fastest, that the importance of focus is incredibly important and often preached by business leaders.
