In today's world, busyness has become our standard, but did you know that it can be harmful? Studies show that constant activity reduces the ability to think deeply and creatively.
What happens to the brain?
- Constant concentration without rest overloads us with information "noise".
- Сhecking phones every spare minute only makes the situation worse, creating an addiction to busyness.
What does science advise?
For the brain to remain productive and healthy, you need to find a balance: combine periods of concentration with time for relaxation and inactivity. Don't be afraid to do nothing - that's when your brain "cleanses" and accumulates strength.
Scientists, in particular, neurobiologist Daniel Levitin advises:
- Set aside time for rest or meditation.
- Allowing yourself moments of mindless contemplation resets the brain and restores energy.
Don't be afraid to pause. The best ideas are born in silence!
