In this digital age, our minds are constantly bombarded with stimulation, leaving us feeling scattered and overwhelmed.

But what if there was a way to harness this stimulation to fuel our creativity?

In the Ted talk, Chris Bailey reveals the secret to unlocking your creative potential: scatter focus.

Scatter focus is simply allowing your mind to wander freely without being focused on a specific task.

Overstimulation is the root cause of distraction.

• Our brains crave distraction, and we get a hit of dopamine when we check social media or email.
• This constant stimulation makes it difficult to focus on one thing for long periods of time.
• When we lower our stimulation levels, our attention span increases and we become more productive.

Benefits of Scatter Focus

Increased attention span: When your mind is less stimulated, it seeks distraction less frequently.
