Brain expert Dr. Shane Creado identifies the most common causes of mediocre performance in today’s workforce. It’s what I call behavioral ADHD, and it happens because we have so many things going on. We have work e-mail, personal e-mail, text messages, social media, and dozens of other distractions competing for our time and attention. How do we naturally prioritize these things? We tend to avoid the things that are more complicated and require more effort. And we get really excited about the things that provide instant gratification. By default, we’ll typically procrastinate the things that really need to get done because they are not appealing to us. In essence, the brain will naturally follow the path of least resistance. How do you overcome behavioral ADHD? Dr. Creado consults with some of the highest performers in the world, and offers this simple prescription: 1. Daily investing in your brain health—nutrition, exercise, sleep, meditation/prayer. 2. Find or develop a system for eliminating distractions. Because recruiting is complicated, requires more attention, and depends upon sustained effort, those suffering from behavioral ADHD will fail miserably.
