Well written article. But I think the Author is not very familiar
With eastern way of thinking. Quieting your mind is different than
Focusing your mind on nothing.
I studied medicine in Uk for good seven years, and
Realized the degree of materialistic & need of time efficient are
Their main priorities which good in terms of productivity but it
Takes away the essence of living the moment.
Please do some research on eastern meditation before labeling it.
And try to enjoy the silence while driving without contemplating
On problem or even idea. Just enjoy the silence and the drive.

Hi Scott,
I came across your blog on The Thesis Gallery Showcase and think this is a great article. Would you be interested in doing a guest blog or providing an excerpt from this chapter on my blog?

Great!

It still amazes me how people allow themselves to be distracted by pop-up notifications, push notifications on their mobiles and so on.

Anyone using mac OSX mail will be pleased to know that you can also turn off the red sticker that says how many emails are unread in the osx toolbar.

That sticker is a huge source of distraction, temptation and loss of concentration!

I’ve been thinking something like given the convenient Internet access nowadays, why do we still need to do our jobs at particular workplaces.

I got one idea days ago that it’s always easier to communicate face-to-face. Now I found another reason in this post: different environments may help us concentrate on different things, and help separate different aspects of our lives.

I like your post very much! Great job!
I have one thing to add: PASSION! If you visualize what you have to accomplish and do it with passion then you are unstoppable.
I wish you all the best!

Agreed. I encourage though, but not falling asleep while driving (a trait that my Grandpa was excellent at).

Don’t “meditate” while driving. Entering what is effectively a sleep state while piloting a multi-ton box is extremely common and much easier than most people think.
