According to Neuroscience expert Dr. Patrick Porter, mental clarity is crucial for productivity.

Mental Clarity in the New Norm.

We live in a high-stress and technology-drenched world filled with distractions. Our phones, computers, TVs, family, friends, and coworkers have always been barriers to productivity…And in the age of COVID-19, it’s even more difficult to concentrate.

If you are struggling to focus and get stuff done (whether it’s at work or at home in your personal life) you are not alone. According to a recent survey, 64% of people said they aren’t as productive because of pandemic-related stress and anxiety.

According to Neuroscience expert Dr. Patrick Porter, mental clarity is crucial for productivity.

“Stress, anxiety, and fear elevate cortisol levels in the brain which interferes with memory making it impossible to concentrate…”

…says Dr. Porter, who has devoted his career to researching the brain and mental wellness. According to Dr. Porter, Increased stress and anxiety over the last few months has understandably caused productivity to plummet because your emotional state is directly connected to your ability to focus.

“Luckily, there are strategies you can do to improve mental clarity and reduce stress so you can beat distraction and focus…”

…says Dr. Porter. One productivity-boosting strategy he recommends is to take a “time-out” every 75 to 90 minutes. While it may sound counterintuitive, many studies have shown a link between taking breaks and increased productivity. Stepping away from work for 10-15 minutes resets your brain, allows your mind to relax, and gets you in a clear headspace. Dr. Porter is also an advocate of restorative activities like exercising and meditating – both of which increase your ability to focus on tasks and remember information.
