@james.thinks1: Nested interruptions are the real name for the last one. Every time something pulls you away your brain has to hold on to where you were, and when the thing that interrupted you gets interrupted too, it is holding two of those at once. Researchers who study it literally call that taxing working memory. The second one is the one that changed the most for me. Your brain can only keep a few separate pieces live at a time, so the people who seem to hold more are really just holding bigger pieces. Every new thing you learn gives you another pattern to collapse the details into. Comment learn and I'll send you what I use to get smarter every day. #workingmemory #cognitivescience #focus #learnfaster #neuroscience #deepwork
