The Neuroscience of Focus

Financial Advice NZ recently held a webinar The Neuroscience of Focus. Hosted by Cecilia Farrow, and with Alex Davids presenting, the webinar covered our brains and focus, continuous partial attention and cognitive energy and cognitive drain. One of the depressing facts Alex points out is that in 2022, 50% of the workforce felt burnt out – but by 2024 it had raised to 61% feeling burnt out.

One of my key takeaways to overcome continuous partial attention and help focus, was switching off notifications and using the ‘out of office’ function to stop those external factors that can halt our focus in its tracks. It’s an excellent watch if you want to get a few tips on how to improve your focus, and in turn improve your performance.

Alex Davids will also be presenting at the National Adviser Conference, 1 – 3 April at the Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre.
