Multi-tasking decreases performance dramatically

Take it easy on yourself!

When you are multitasking, you are actually using your autopilot!

Multitasking messes both jobs!

Write down ideas to clear your mind!

We think about what is easy to think about not about what is important!

Thinking about problems is easy …

Imagining solutions is not!

Staying Cool Under Pressure

The Limbic system is responsible for “Fight or Flight” responses

When it is activated …

We generalize more!

We tend to be pessimistic!

Memory does not perform well!

Sometimes, that is good

We get derailed by “conspiracy theory”!

Expectations get out of control!

Your brain needs a good level of stress and alertness to work properly

Dopamine is a chemical that help your brain to work …

it is generated by good expectations or rewards

Humor and positive expectations generate dopamine

Fear produces adrenaline which also help attention, but it might have

negative effects as well

Over alertness reduces your capability to concentrate!!!

To get out of over alertness try to activate other parts of your brain …

take a walk or have a shower

Activate your director

Meta-cognition

Think about your thinking

Cooling down gives way to insights!

Collaborating with Others

To Facilitate Change …

Focus on what you want to create!
