The Paleo Diet for Your Brain – Single Tasking

Written by Posted On Friday, 17 May 2019 05:30

I realized the mobile technology revolution has completed wrecked the Single Tasking from many of our pre-Palm and pre-Blackberry days, oh those were the days! I am not saying we go back to that time but rather change our life and more importantly our brain. In case you been hibernating under a rock the Paleo Diet is what cavemen ate from 2.5 million to 10,000 years ago. Whatever they could hunt and gather, no dairy, legumes and grains.

Before we start discussing Single Tasking here are a few facts from people much smarter than me, don’t believe me Google it and if it’s on the internet it has to be true! Multitasking decreases your productivity by 40%, lowers your IQ by 17% also shrinks your brain by reducing density in area of your brain that controls cognitive and emotional control. Please read this section again and think about yourself, I did while writing this!

Let’s discuss how we can keep our brain from shrinking, be dumber and raise our productivity. I try to practice Single Tasking in spurts and will share in my next article/blog.

Accept the fact Multitasking is a bad thing and it’s time to take your life back.

Train yourself one task at a time, we need a patch like offered to quit smoking.

Stop letting your thoughts wonder from the task at hand.

Find an environment free of distractions, we will discuss later this point.

Your brain needs a break, find a place to reflect on your thoughts.

Learn to say “no” when folks push you to do something gobbling up your time.

Seek help from family and co-workers to stay on task.

Yes, I know most of you are REALTORS® and will say multitasking is part of doing business, I will partially agree but let’s find a way to turn it on and off as needed to be successful.
