Comments on: Multitasking Yourself to Mediocrity? http://integraladvisor.com/multitasking-mediocrity/ Building the Courage and Capacity to Bring Big Ideas to Life Thu, 25 Aug 2011 19:04:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Kristin Keffeler http://integraladvisor.com/multitasking-mediocrity/comment-page-1/#comment-36 Kristin Keffeler Thu, 24 Jun 2010 18:31:38 +0000 http://integraladvisor.com/?p=196#comment-36 Kathleen- Thanks for the recommendation on what appears to be an interesting book -- it's definitely a topic that feels very compelling right now. What a great story you share about the 18-year-old who committed to turning his cell phone off each day. I too am curious about other stories of people taking control of their technology. And curious if those who do make that conscious choice, feel a tangible shift in either their focus and/or the level of 'buzzing' (a sign of chronic stress) in their bodies. Great comments... thanks!

Your readers may also be interested in Nicholas Carr's new book, "The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains". He integrates research that demonstrates that the very technologies we believe are amplifying our abilities are rewiring our brains to be less productive, decreasing and even inhibiting our decision making, creativity, problem solving, and innovative capabilities. I tell the story of an 18-year old who I know who recently began turning off his cell phone for several hours each day here: http://friesengroup.wordpress.com/2010/06/09/your-brain-on-computers/ I'd be interested in hearing more stories about how people are taking control of their technology.
