  29. Humans are hardwired to be distracted.

  30. Workplaces and schools are not helping.

  31. What neuroscience is teaching us

  32. Understanding attention

  33. Understanding attention Controlled attention is our capacity to intentionally and willfully direct our minds to a specific item or task.

  34. Understanding attention Stimulus-driven attention is an involuntary attraction to any external or internal lure.

  35. Our brains at work

  36. OUR BRAINS AT WORK 1. Brains get tired

  37. OUR BRAINS AT WORK The brain comprises merely 2% of the body’s weight, but consumes more than 20% of the daily caloric intake of energy—more than any other organ in the human body. PREVENTIVE MEDICINE

  38. OUR BRAINS AT WORK 2. Multitasking attention is inefficient

  39. OUR BRAINS AT WORK Research shows that multitasking increases your error rate by 50%. JOHN MEDINA

  40. OUR BRAINS AT WORK “ Change focus ten times an hour, and your productive thinking time is only a fraction of what’s possible.” DAVID ROCK

  41. OUR BRAINS AT WORK Flow Being fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement and enjoyment in the process of the activity.

  42. OUR BRAINS AT WORK 3. Mindfulness trains the brain

  43. OUR BRAINS AT WORK “ Meditation can actually change the structure of your brain, which impacts self-awareness, perception and cognitive functioning.” RICHARD DAVIDSON

  44. OUR BRAINS AT WORK “ Engaging in mindfulness means that we are practicing our ability to recognize when our minds have wandered and gaining ability to redirect our attention. The more we practice this, the better we get at it.” BEATRIZ ARANTES, SENIOR RESEARCHER, STEELCASE

  45. OUR BRAINS AT WORK “ The workplace and schools can be designed to mitigate distractions and prime us to better manage our attention.” JOHN MEDINA

  46. Respecting brain modes

  47. RESPECTING BRAIN MODES Steelcase researchers and designers have identified three brain modes that each require distinct behaviors and settings.

  48. RESPECTING BRAIN MODES Brain modes Focus

  49. RESPECTING BRAIN MODES Brain modes Focus Regenerate and inspire

  50. RESPECTING BRAIN MODES Brain modes Focus Regenerate and inspire Activate

  51. RESPECTING BRAIN MODES Focus When we need to deeply focus on something, it is important to avoid unwelcome distractions.

  52. RESPECTING BRAIN MODES Regenerate and inspire When overwhelmed minds need a break, regenerative activities strengthen brain functioning.

  53. RESPECTING BRAIN MODES Activate When we need to boost our attention, movement pumps oxygen and fresh blood through our brain and triggers enhancing hormones.

  54. Movement engages the brain.

  55. RESPECTING BRAIN MODES Respecting the rhythms of our brain Focus Thinking work Regeneration and inspiration Building & developing Activation Lunch relationships Serendipitous encounter Project / coffee + food review Brainstorm Taking a moment / session movement Taking a moment / Taking a moment / personal phone call plan the day

  56. Design to support attention

  57. No single solution for everyone, all the time

  58. DESIGN TO SUPPORT ATTENTION Ecosystem of interconnected and interdependent spaces that support the physical, cognitive and emotional needs of people.
