Mindfulness is a core concept of Optimal Work and the second of the three primary steps that bring somebody into full engagement with a task. Mindfulness is very simply defined as the ability to hold one’s attention in the present moment.

Mindful Attention


According to the model of OptimalWork, successfully reframing a task takes one out of limbic attention and into mindful attention. In limbic attention, one is caught in a misplaced "fight or flight" mode, with the brain's executive function attenuated and the mind reactive and distractible. In mindful attention, on the other hand, the limbic system is turned down in favor of the more deliberate functions of the brain. When mindful, the brain carries out executive tasks more effectively and is less responsive to distracting auditory, visual, and mental cues.
