Human Able To Think Four Things At Once
January 30th, 2008 by WTJHow many things can you do at once? Researchers had concluded that human brain can focus on four things at once.
Researchers at the University of Oregon have concluded that the human brain has a built-in limit on the number of discrete thoughts it can entertain at one time. The limit for most individuals is four, according to the research team led by University of Oregon psychology professors Edward Awh and Edward Vogel.
Here’s a joke, when you’re making love with your fiancee, what are the three other things in your mind?
Don’t Spread Out Your Goals, Focus One At A Time.
Doing few things once a time will make you do a lousy job. You can perform better if you just concentrate on doing one thing at a time. Same thing goes to your goal. You may have iPhone, telescope, iPod, a new laptop, etc. in your wishlist. One of the solution to get all these things is through savings.
If you can save $1000 per month to buy the items you want, how would you manage this money? Would you spread it out to allocate same fund for each items? I wouldn’t suggest you doing that. I would suggest you to allocate the money according to your priority. For example laptop is what you want the most as better laptop can increase your productivity, and telescope is at the bottom of your list. Why don’t you allocate 70% of the money on laptop and then spread out the other 30%. This helps you buy something fast, but also you have more funds after archiving a goal.
The Same Thing Goes To Settling Debt.
It is better to tackle your debt one by one. Don’t pay each debts little by little. You will always in debt if you do that. It is better if you can pay off small debts first before you start tackling the big ones. When you are free of small debts, you have better concentration and more funds to pay off the big ones.
Focus On What You Want, But Not What You Don’t Want.
You can think four things at once, but what would you think. Negative thinking is not encouraged. Since you can think four things at once, stop occupying them with negative thoughts. For example, stop thinking you don’t want to lose money, gain weight, go to work, and hungry. Adjust your way of thinking, try to think how can you earn money, keep fit, get a better job opportunity, and what food you can eat!
