We all claim to be multi-tasking. But it is not true. Multi-tasking is actually inefficient. Multi-tasking has a cost. In fact, distractions seriously risk to impact on our jobs, our carreer and, above all, our life. We are no more able to focus on a single thing. There’s a lot at stake. Do you want to give “it” away?, asks Tracy Davidson in this TEDx.

Mindfulness is not just a passing fad. It’s here to stay.
Why? Well because the way the world is going, we are being pushed to our limits every day, millions of inputs being thrown our way, projects to plan, time always lacking (or at least, that’s what we perceive). This is leading to a real epidemic of Burnout in the workplace, with negative consequences on company productivity and efficiency, but most importantly on our health.
So how can mindfulness help? Well, being mindful means being able to live in the present moment, bringing all our attention in the here and now. This means channeling all our energies into what we are doing instead of dispersing them into ruminating thoughts about the way we should have resolved that issue yesterday or what we have to do tomorrow.
Mindfulness helps us keep anxiety at bay, holding us within our state of calm, presence and clarity.
We can think better.
We can work better.
Check out some of these Mindfulness Practices collected by the New York Times and give them a try! You just might realize how wonderful it is to just be.
