21 分钟Hey, there, it's Jonathan with today's Good Life project update, where we blend together different ideas and segments to kind of update you on what's spiraling around in my noggin related to living a good life today.
Kind of an interesting focus, actually.
Two of them.
We've got a riff and a science update, and today's riff is about to do lists.
Do you keep to do lists?
Do you live and die by them?
Do you absolutely hate them and war with them?
There are a couple of interesting things that happen in our minds that make to do lists a really interesting thing to explore, even if the thought of them makes you, you know, kind of want to hurl.
In our science update, we've got an interesting bit of science that shows that concentrating or focusing your attention, your awareness on something highly visual, can potentially lead you to be what's called momentarily deaf to sounds around you.
So we're going to dive into that research, and it may also explain a little bit of relationship angst along the way, give you something, a little bit of science to point to the next time somebody says, hey, were you listening?
Anyway, I'm Jonathan Fields.
This is good life project.
So in today's riff, I'm talking about something called to do lists.
Now, as I said in the lead up to this, many of us have some sort of pre existing relationship with the idea of to do lists or apps or programs.
Some of us absolutely love to do lists.
They're a tool that works really beautifully with the way that we organize our minds and our lives, and they give us a sense of accomplishment along the way.
Some of us have really strong preferences.
You know, we may be like, oh, I am completely a list person, but it has to be on paper.
And you'll have your specific journal, you'll have your specific planner or file, whatever it may be.
Everyone has their own technique, and some people love, love, love paper.
