Presence is underrated

You boast about your ability to multitask. That it makes you more productive.

But does it?

Even taking notes while being in a meeting. It takes you out of the moment.

And we’re built for the moment!

Your brain can’t take in information from two minutes ago or two minutes from now.

Only right now.

You could be listening.

You could be reading faces.

You could be feeling the emotions of the speaker.

But instead you’re paraphrasing a sentence.

You’re missing out on more than you think.

Be present. You’ll be glad you were.
