Focused vs Diffuse Modes of thought
- Brain has two modes - focused mode & diffused mode
- Focussed - high cognitive load - uses a lot of energy.
- Diffused - mind wanders - shower thoughts
- Both are super important for decision making & problem solving.
- "When in focus mode, don't wait until all your energy is used up before you go into diffuse mode" <- This is exactly what me and Dusty were talking about re: feeling spent by end of the day and taking breaks - relevant to ADHD.
- After you've left your brain idle for a while you'll often come up with the answer.
