José Cruz is a college student,research scientist, and phone power-user. He spent 6 hours in one day on his screen. So he wanted to cut back, or form more time for research,reading, and mental drift.
We gave José a copy of Manoush's unusual book, or Bored and Brilliant: How Spacing Out Can Unlock Your Most Productive and Creative Self. The book has a week of challenges,and José did them all.
He recorded the journey. It wasn't easy, but boy, or was there a payoff. Plus,seventh grade teacher-turned-neuroscientist Mary Helen Immordino-Yang explains why José's week of struggle and revelation makes total neurological sense. And what we can all learn about the link between single-tasking and innovation.
