“Emergency” Productivity: How to be productive despite urgent or unexpected events

Recently, I went to check my website to find a white screen and “pageok” in plain text in the upper left corner.

Umm…the page did not seem OK at all thank you very much. Not good.

So, did I drop everything and get on the phone to my host and freak out? No. That would not have been a productive use of my time even though my brain was absolutely screaming “DANGER! DANGER! HANDLE IMMEDIATELY!” That was a natural reaction, but I took a step back and instead of reacting with pure panic, I took a deep breath, calmed down and went through the following process. I hope this helps you.

This breakdown examines how working memory filters, prioritizes, and processes internal mental content and external stimuli.

New Study Says There IS a Magic Door Into Your Customer or Coworker’s Brain

Did you know that our brains mirror each other during social interactions? And that’s what forms the basis for human connection and engagement. For business owners who constantly interact and negotiate with others, understanding and potentially triggering brain syncing could lead to smoother, more cooperative interactions and desired outcomes. Want to raise your rates? Negotiate a better contract? Land more business from your customers? This study breakdown explores how simple, common behaviors might facilitate this mirroring of brain activity, potentially fast-tracking social bonding, cooperation, and coordination in business settings.

New Study: “Right Sleep” Might Trump More Sleep

We business owners often sacrifice sleep for more hours working on our business – and we might even tell ourselves things like: “I’ll sleep more when this project is complete” or when a revenue goal is hit, a new employee is onboarded, etc. You get the idea. These “when X happens” lies we tell ourselves often leave us exhausted and we’ve all been told we should not walk around sleep-deprived and all the dangers that come with it. But what is considered “sleep deprived”? How can we prevent (or mitigate) it and what factors affect the amount and quality of sleep we get? If the answer isn’t just “sleep more,” what is it? Check out this study breakdown on Understanding the Need for Sleep to Improve Cognition.
