Thanks Jan for curating this post. As I mentioned in Facebook, I have really been helped by Bregman's book, 18 MInutes! His techniques are fantastic. The book is written using stories to illustrate is concepts. I've been slowly trying to put them into practice. It takes discipline

I just rescooped this article because I found it in another source, but here I look further into your collection and find it. I'm curating on the topic information overload and coping skills. I believe that curation can help you pay attention. I experienced this myself .. I was a conference. Many people were tweeting. I was tracking it with storify - doing content curation in real time with twitter versus tweeting helped me pay attention, quickly put together a coherrent record of what happened and make it unstandable to people not in the room.

I have covered a few conferences in real-time and it definitely makes you pay attention on more than one level. Being able to put it in a cohesive manner helping people understand what's happening is an art in itself and something you do very well.

Are there unintended consequences for compulsively tweeting? Read on.... |
Attentional intelligence is only logical -- it is easier to perform mental tasks when you are able to switch to focal attention and stay there during the task. Although IQ is presumed to be relatively unchangeable, metacognitive capabilities such as strengthened ability to switch to focal attention and stay there appear to be trainable.
