New Business Book Summary Available for The Organized Mind

Aug. 5, 2016 - PRLog -- In The Organized Mind, Daniel J. Levitin discusses the latest findings in brain and memory research and applies the concepts to everyday situations in both the home and workplace. He explains how people can organize their thinking processes to align with the way the brain works best. Knowing how to organize their lives and business dealings allows people to spend their time more efficiently, make better decisions, and become more productive. Levitin emphasizes the need for critical thinking skills and also calls for the reduction of so-called multitasking, which combats the brain's methods for focusing on and processing information.

According to the author:

*By crafting organization in their lives, people can spend time creatively and more efficiently.

*Those who organize their time so that they can focus on a task with minimal distractions get more accomplished, become less neurologically depleted, and consequently are less tired.

*Having an organized mind leads to good decision making.

*To deal with information overload, an organized mind uses external systems to shift the burden of organizing the information overload from the brain to the external world.

*Emailing, texting, and using social media all modulate "reward" chemicals in the brain that trigger a neural addiction. Successful people limit these activities to specific time slots in their days.

*Businesses can be considered transactive memory systems in that detailed knowledge of how a business operates is not held in the brain of one person; rather, each employee has specialized knowledge.

*It is more important than ever for people to learn how to be organized and, as a result, maximize their mental abilities.
