Activate your brain

Side talk: I still love this theme, that’s why I revert to this greyish-white theme.

I just told a friend of mine during lunch that I think my brain is shrinking. The size is still the same but it’s like it’s not as fit as before.

I tend to stray aimlessly whenever I try to focus, that’s bad. That’s really not what I want when I need to focus on my actual work. To prove that I am not focusing on my work, I am actually writing a post which you are reading at this very moment. That proves that I am shifting away from what I should do but instead I never failed to focus on blogging.

On a positive note, although I tend to roam away during the day, I found that my ability to focus is in reality good at night. I noticed that my golden hours are in the late evening (3pm to 6pm) and after dinner (8pm-11pm). I tried hard in focusing on my work in the morning but it is just not up to par with my golden hours.

What about you? Do you have your own golden hour? I found a rather good video which the author, Tony Buzan, shares what concentration is about. He addresses the problem with concentration, mental fitness as well as being a solution finder.

After watching this video, I realized that my weakness lies in that I perceive my brain as a ‘problem solver’ instead of being a good ’solution finder’. Our concentration becomes dissipated when we only think about problems day and night. Crap, I have been stuffing my brain with tons of problems. That’s negative!

It’s playing around with words that matters sometimes. By searching for solution, we are actually training our brain to think out of the box and is much more positive way of looking at the problems. Time to fuel my brain with solutions.

Go Go Daniel! Time to let my brain grow with positive solutions to counter those negative problems.
