We change our computer operating systems every three years, and that requires learning new icons and procedures, and learning new locations for old menu items.But overall, as Dennis Overbye put it, from traffic jams in Singapore to the weather on Mars, we are just getting so much more information shot at us. This is why most of the perceptual detritus of our daily lives doesnt register, or why, when youve been driving on the freeway for several hours at a stretch, you dont remember much of the scenery that has whizzed by: Your attentional system protects you from registering it because it isnt deemed important. It’s like having a friend who’s a neuroscientist showing you how creating a little order in your brain can unlock so much creativity.” — Len Blum, screenwriter, The Pink Panther, Meatballs “The Organized Mind reads like a movie— not the dry tome you might expect. Having explained music and the brain, now he shows us the best, most effective ways to organize the rest of our life by giving us key insights into how the brain works. Five exabytes (5 1018) of new data were produced in January 2012 alonethats 50,000 times the number of words in the entire Library of Congress.This information explosion is taxing all of us, every day, as we struggle to come to grips with what we really need to know and what we dont.

Think of the circuits in your home again. While our brains evolved to take on the daunting challenges of life in the Stone Age, they now have many redundant, maladaptive, and not quite finished features that clash with the huge demands placed on our attention by the modern world. When we focus on a conversation were having, we tune out other conversations. Davidson, director, The Futures Initiative, City University of New York, author of Now You See It: How the Brain Science of Attention Will Transform the Way We Live, Work, and Learn”Using the latest information on the brain and how it works, Levitin presents a series of ideas on how to organize one's life and business. Our brains are hungrily soaking all this in because that is what theyre designed to do, but at the same time, all this stuff is competing for neuroattentional resources with the things we need to know to live our lives.Emerging evidence suggests that embracing new ideas and learning is helping us to live longer and can stave off Alzheimers diseaseapart from the advantages traditionally associated with expanding ones knowledge.
