Daily Pep Talk From A Best Friend: Where do you think you're going?

Where do you think you’re going?

Pep Talk: Look, I know you want to go out tonight, but you may not. You have to study now because you will be tested next week and this is your last chance to stuff your head full of every bit of knowledge that will fit. We’re approaching frantic cram session time so put on your jammies, turn on all the lights, and stick that pretty little nose of yours in a textbook. Put down the highlighter… the window for highlighter use is closed. This is desperate, embarrassing mnemonic device time. And, just so you know, the fact that you’re getting this pep talk means there’s still a chance that you’ll do a really amazing job. This is the pep talk that comes immediately before the Fuck It, Do Your Best pep talk, which comes immediately before the It’s OK, Grades Are Just Letters pep talk. Use this time wisely and you’ll be prepared to succeed.

But, my favorite part about multi-tasking is that it’s proven that the more you do it, the worse you are at it. Check that out. It’s one of the only things where the more you practice it, the worse you get at it.

The reason why that’s the case is that when you practice distraction (which is what multi-tasking really is – paying attention to something that distracted you from what you were originally paying attention to), you’re training your brain. You’re training your brain to pay attention to distracting things. The more you train your brain to pay attention to distractions, the more you get distracted and the less able you are to even focus for brief periods of time on the two or three things you were trying to get done in your ‘multi-tasking’ in the first place.

How’s that for self-defeating.

We’re creating a culture of distraction.
