Give each task undivided attention!

 How to take smart notes : pg 57


In office, i am constantly interrupted by emails ; my inbox is open;

i keep checking every 5 minutes or even 2 minutes to see if there is omething there.

like a rat checking the cheese store to see if there is something there;

if there is something digest it - and if not there - check old emails and munch it

its a kind of consumption preventing the original thinking;

overall, it leads to attention deficit disorder;


according to the book , How to take smart notes, emails cut our productivity by at least 40%;

and reduces IQ by at least 10 points


Modern world is not helping this : we are surrounded by more sources of distractions and less opportunities to train our attention spans!

So Pomodoro is the solution!
