Praktický průvodce ovládáním pozornosti – jedinečný nástroj, který vám umožní být kreativnější, produktivnější a žít smysluplněji Naše pozornost nebyla nikdy tak rozptylována jako dnes. Řada z nás si uvědomuje, jak mozek trpí neustálou snahou dělat víc věcí najednou. Přesto si to nedokážeme odpustit a navrch trávíme spoustu času zbytečnostmi. Náš mozek přitom nabízí dva účinné režimy, které můžeme spustit, když účelně využijeme svou pozornost. Hyperfocus – režim stoprocentního soustředění, který umožňuje být produktivnější. A scatterfocus – režim rozptýleného soustředění, který umožňuje být kreativnější a spojovat myšlenky novými způsoby. S pomocí knihy Koncentrace se naučíte tyto režimy využívat a ovládat svou pozornost.

A fresh, personal, and entertaining exploration of a topic that concerns all of us: how to be more productive at work and in every facet of our lives. Chris Bailey turned down lucrative job offers to pursue a lifelong dream--to spend a year performing a deep dive experiment into the pursuit of productivity, a subject he had been enamoured with since he was a teenager. After obtaining his business degree, he created a blog to chronicle a year-long series of productivity experiments he conducted on himself, where he also continued his research and interviews with some of the world's foremost experts, from Charles Duhigg to David Allen. Among the experiments that he tackled: Bailey went several weeks with getting by on little to no sleep; he cut out caffeine and sugar; he lived in total isolation for 10 days; he used his smartphone for just an hour a day for three months; he gained ten pounds of muscle mass; he stretched his work week to 90 hours; a late riser, he got up at 5:30 every morning for three months--all the while monitoring the impact of his experiments on the quality and quantity of his work. The Productivity Project--and the lessons Chris learned--are the result of that year-long journey. Among the counterintuitive insights Chris Bailey will teach you: - slowing down to work more deliberately; - shrinking or eliminating the unimportant; - the rule of three; - striving for imperfection; - scheduling less time for important tasks; - the 20 second rule to distract yourself from the inevitable distractions; - and the concept of productive procrastination. In an eye-opening and thoroughly engaging read, Bailey offers a treasure trove of insights and over 25 best practices that will help you accomplish more

Focusing on the experiences of primary school children in a year-long after-school club, the book explores their engagement with virtual world play, particularly through Minecraft. Utilizing a unique methodological approach called 'rhizomic ethnography,' it combines text and visuals to illustrate how the children's digital community was influenced by both the game and their broader social contexts. The author highlights the emergent nature of play and provides insights valuable for researchers interested in children's play, visual methods, and multimodal research outputs.
