Will Focus Make You Happier?
in the new york times cited a recent study from harvard happiness experts daniel gilbert and matthew killingers worth,who used an iphone app to contect some 2200 individuals and get a total of roughly 250000 replies concerning how each person was feeling and what he or she was doing at that moment. not surprisingly,the people who reported the highest levels of pleasure were having sex when contacted (not sure how they felt after being interrupted).and they were highly focused on what they were doing-at least prior to the interruption.
the surprise came from the 99.5% of people who were not having sex nearly half reported that their minds were wandering, in other words,they were not focused on whatever it was they were doing. and those who were focused reported significantly higher levels of happiness than those who were not.
as an expert on ways to achieve peak performance and on attention deficit disorder (ADD) and the crazy busy pace of modern life, i was interested in this study. so ... unless we re having sex, half of us at any given moment are not focused on what we re doing.not only does such a lack of focus lead to unhappiness, it result in error ,wasted time miscommunication and misunderstanding,diminised productivity ,and who knows how much global loss of income (there'll be a study on that soon ,no doubt).
So why such rampant lack of focus?And what remedies can we apply ?One might suggest we all take Ritalin for our culturally induced ADD . of course that would be medically inadvisable , although we're already pretty much doing the equivalent: just look at the lines at starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts ,not to mention the sales of Mountain Dew ,Red Bull ,and the rest .
Why are we in need of so much caffeine ?
If Gilbert and killingsworth had done their study 100 years ago , or even 20 years ago,would they have gotten the same results ?Or is this a new phenomenon ? At any given moment ,are half the minds in America -or the world-wandering ?
My money-and available research-say it's new,or at least it has grown wrose of late.As much as 30% to 40% of people's time in the workplace is spent tending to unplanned interutions and then reconstituting the mental focus the interruption destroyed.I am sure that was not the case 20 years ago simply because the tools of interruption were not so plentiful .And all the distraction has created Blocks in thinking and feeling deeply .we're being superficialized and Sound -
