The Riskiest Thing Most of Us Do Every Day
from Bigg Success July 22, 2008
We saw a great post by John Grohol at PsychCentral called Distracted While Driving. He really caught our attention with one thought. We allow ourselves to be distracted while we drive because we think we re playing a race against time. In reality, we re playing against the odds. A study by Virginia Tech Transportation Institute and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that about 80 percent of all crashes and 65 percent of all near-crashes involved someone who was distracted within three seconds of the event. . . I plead guilty as charged. I have to admit to using my car as a roaming second office. I store up phone messages and return calls while I m on the road. . . . I m in the car on a busy, busy day with all these things rolling through my mind. That s one of the distractions that we often don t take into account. I zone out I don t really pay attention like I should. I m in my own world. . . Psychologists have identified four types of distractions, according to Grohol s article. Visual checking out an accident or looking at a billboard Audible cell phone calls, the radio, or another person talking Physical eating, flipping the dial, shuffling your iPod, or putting on make-up Cognitive daydreaming, thinking about other things in your life Of course, a lot of distractions are multi-faceted. For example, talking on your cell phone includes three of these audible, physical, and cognitive. . I really do think it saves time. We have a friend who consults with us. He talks to us when he s on his hour-and-a-half commute home. I can understand why you would use your phone when you have that long drive. . I won t dispute that at all, but I now realize more than ever that I have to recognize the odds of something happening and take measures to try to minimize the distractions. . . Changes we plan to make Leave earlier. When we have a lengthy trip, we usually don t give ourselves the time to stop and eat. We gas, grab, and go eating on the road. Leaving earlier will allow us time to stop and eat. We ll probably eat healthier, too! Ignore the phone. Granted, that s a hard thing to do. So we re going to turn our ringers off when we re only going to be in the car for a short time. Change our greetings. If we re expecting an important call, we ll change the greeting to let them know when we will be checking our messages. Pull over (if we can). For those rare situations where we have to take the call, we ll stop driving momentarily. What s your biggest distraction while driving? Subscribe to The Bigg Success Show in iTunes.

Can You Walk And Chew Gum At The Same Time?
from Bigg Success February 25, 2008
A study at UCLA asked participants to sort index cards with various shapes on them. The researchers divided the participants into two groups: Group 1 sorted their cards with no distractions. Group 2 sorted their cards while listening to, and counting beeps. The researchers found that the two groups sorted equally well. However, the first group remembered what they sorted better than the second group. So, something suffers when we multi-task. Doesn t common sense tell us the same thing? So why do we all try to do so many things at once? There are many reasons because we think we can, we get distracted, we re bored, maybe we re really just procrastinating, or perhaps we think it s a competitive advantage. The problem is it s not productive, because we want to be effective AND efficient. Multi-tasking can be costly Researchers at the University of Michigan found that, even with the simplest of tasks, it takes time to mentally switch from one to the other. It may only take a second for your brain to catch up, which doesn t sound like much. But how many times do we do this in a day? And that s for the simplest of tasks more complex tasks can take up to a minute! Not to mention that, multi-tasking requires us to FOCUS on concentrating rather than ACTUALLY concentrating. It also boosts stress hormones in our brain. So, in the short run, we get less done. In the long run, it s bad for us. So are these studies saying that we should NEVER multi-task? You ll be happy to know that you can walk and chew gum at the same time, because you re performing two tasks that have become automatic. You don t have to think about it anymore! Many people may argue that checking their e-mail or text messages has become second nature. But there s a bigg difference there s a second human being in the equation. For the communication to be effective, you have to understand what they said, and what they left unsaid. Then, and only then, can you convey an effective return message. In other words, you have to THINK! 3 tips to break the addiction Admit that it s a problem. If you don t see it as a problem, you can t solve it. This is the first step. Out of sight, out of mind. Keep one thing in front of you. Everything else should be filed away. If you don t see it, you won t be tempted. Reward yourself with something you enjoy AFTER you complete each task. A time for everything, everything in its time What s most important right now, based on the future you ve visualized? Work exclusively on what you NEED to accomplish to reach the top of your stairway to success. Tell us what you think about multi-tasking! Share your bigg challenges! Offer your bigg solutions! Leave us a Comment below! Our bigg quote today is actually a definition. No one claims it, perhaps for a reason . mul ti-task ing (mŭl tē-tăs kĭng, -tī-) n. Screwing up everything simultaneously. So make sure you stay focused so you only screw up one thing at a time! Next time, we ll share an ancient Chinese secret to solve all of your problems. You ll be amazed at how simple it is!
