I think we are witnessing the result of having not yet taken seriously the crisis of overstimulation in all of us. When kids arrive at school, how many engaging tech/media experiences have they already been a part of that morning? Late the night before?

It is said that optimalists:
- see the journey as a zigzag
- accept failure as feedback
- prioritize the process
- embrace complex thinking
- look for the benefit
- are self-accepting
- are adaptable
How might the
#optimalist
mindset be a positive one for educators?

Where did the rules of engagement become scattered & untraceable? And how can we get them back?

If focus is the modern superpower (it is), how do we optimize to being managing it now?
- prioritize integrated, sustainable mindfulness in schools
- create conditions (ie: routines, breaks, focus) where it is carried out of the school day
- manage attention, not time
Focus is the modern superpower.
Most people are busy building others dreams with little care for their own. A plan was laid out at birth, and they followed without question.
Create your plan, self-educate for clarity, and execute like your life depends on it. Because it does.

When you swipe and like stuff on social media (or even text messages), your brain interprets it as a task being completed - but there is no actual reward. And the more tasks we do like this - and the faster - the more tired our brain becomes.
This is overstimulation.
