Linda Stone - From the Desire category:
People hunger for more attention. Full attention will be the aphrodisiac of the future. (Linda Stone)
Linda Stone - From the Efficiency category:
When we multi-task, we are motivated by a desire to be more productive and more efficient. We're often doing things that are automatic, that require very little cognitive processing... Continuous partial attention describes how many of us use our attention today... to pay partial attention - continuously. It is different from multi-tasking. (Linda Stone)
Linda Stone - From the Emotion category:
Breathing determines emotion. Emotion determines breathing. (Linda Stone)
Linda Stone - From the Focus category:
Attention is the most powerful tool of the human spirit. We can enhance or augment our attention with practices like meditation and exercise, diffuse it with technologies like email and Blackberries, or alter it with pharmaceuticals. In the end, though, we are fully responsible for how we choose to use this extraordinary tool. (Linda Stone)
Linda Stone - From the Ideas category:
It's no accident that new ideas pop into our heads when we least expect it. In our enthusiasm to be productive, we forget to give our mind/body moments to be "receptive" - that is, open to daydreaming, open to letting our minds wander. (Linda Stone)
Linda Stone - From the Procrastination category:
Distraction and procrastination come in a variety of flavors... when I'm distracted and I walk over and stare out the window, it's a very different experience than when I feed the distraction by cramming in a few emails or make a phone call. (Linda Stone)
Linda Stone - From the Technology category:
Untethered technology gives us the freedom to do nearly anything, anytime, anywhere. It can also enslave us - we feel compelled to use it where ever it is. Technology is neutral. How, when and where we use it is up to us. (Linda Stone)
