  • Our brains can't do even two independent things that require conscious thought, especially if those two things involve different goals.

      This article emphasizes the practice of mindfulness and full attention on one thing at a time as apposed to multitasking because your brain cannot process two things at once, especially if they are two different goals. 
  • the problem... the brain isn't a computer, and in many cases the brain works much more slowly than a modern processor.

  • Practicing mindfulness is like adding more hours to your day. If you're mindful, time slows down. You get more done, enjoy things more, and feel less stress. These are big claims, but anyone who's practiced mindful meditation or, like me, mindfulness-hold-the-meditation-thanks, will swear it's true.
  • But imagine what it would be like if every time you
  • gave that person all your attention.
  • 100% mindful, totally there, perfect eye contact, YOU.
  • If you want to get more done, be mindful. If you want to have more time, be mindful. Mindful means one thing at a time.

      This article is about the dangers of texting on a cell phone while driving and how it takes away from our mindfulness. Multitasking severely decreases our focus and is not a practice of mindfulness. The author explains how mindfulness is important as it allows us to focus on one task at a time. Our cell phone use is an addiction that spikes our dopamine levels through the satisfaction we get from every text or notification. This addiction causes us to not be mindful sometimes and even do something as stupid as text and drive just because we do not realize it or cannot help it.
