➤➤Transcript (Partial):
Do you have any practical advice on how I can improve my ability to concentrate and pay attention to the world around me? Often the devil's in the details, you know? But, some practical advice is, well, regulate your habits. Try to get up at approximately the same time each morning. I would recommend that you get up approximately when other people get up. So that would be something in the neighborhood of 7:30 or 8 in the morning. Or perhaps earlier or perhaps a little bit later but you want to stabilize that because your circadian rhythms operate more fluidly and your mood is likely to be regulated better if there's islands of stability in your daily routines. Human beings like daily routines just like dogs like daily routines, and so, regulate your sleep. I would say when you get up in the morning, eat breakfast. That's a really important thing to do. I can't tell you how many people I've treated in my clinical practice whose proclivity for emotional instability and depression, anxiety, general hopelessness, emotional pain and gloom and doom, as well as capacity to concentrate, were properly regulated or inhibited or reduced by merely ensuring that they ate a—I would say—a protein and fat rich breakfast, relatively soon after they wake up, and that's especially true if they're stressed. And, as it turns out, that if you stress yourself after a fast, which is of course what you've undertaken if you haven't eaten since the night before, that your body produces enough insulin to deplete the sugar in your blood, and then it's very difficult for you to become regulated properly with regards to your metabolism until you sleep again. And so, regulating your sleep and your breakfast eating habits, in particular, can be a very effective way of regulating your mood and increasing your capacity to concentrate. The other thing I would say is that spending some time scheduling your time is also extraordinarily useful. And so I can tell you a little bit about how to use schedules effectively. So, the first thing I would say is that you should develop a long term plan. You have to set up your vision, like Geppetto when he's looking at the star before Pinocchio's transformation takes place. You have to set up your long term vision—to have some vision of the good towards which you're working, and some vision, perhaps, of the hell that you're avoiding. And then I would say once you set up that vision so that you know how to orient yourself, then you should start designing your days and you can do that very effectively with a calendar like Google Calendar. Many people say well I—I hate using a schedule. Or—I hate using a calendar. And what I would say about that is—is that if you hate using a schedule or a calendar, then you’re probably using it wrong. What you’re doing is using the calendar as an external tyrant...
