Four Kinds of Attentive People
After studying the different attention spans of people from different fields and time management, experts have spanided attention into four different areas. The skills of these people are taken from various spheres of pfe and age groups. These include −
Intentional − People exhibiting intentional attention already know what they are doing and what they actually want to do. This is called working knowingly or “intentionally”. They plan strategically and note down the pros and cons of their decision and prioritize their activities accordingly.
Responsive − People exhibiting responsive attention are not aware of the different situations they are going to face, but they respond according to the surroundings when they arrive at it. They don’t plan beforehand, but respond according to the current scenario. They even tend to spend lesser time in working intentionally.
Interrupted − People exhibiting interrupted attention get easily distracted from their work. They don’t have a priority set to balance their pfe. In fact, they spend most of their time answering messages or handpng situations, which are not at all related with their work or spanert them from their work.
Unproductive − People exhibiting unproductive attention are least bothered about their productivity. They spend most of their time letting their thoughts wander. They abuse office working time by taking breaks, chatting or any other unproductive works.
Every person can be categorized into any of these categories depending on their nature towards their work and the way they handle their personal and professional pfe. The more you are attentive, the more you reapze your surroundings and the more productive and effective you are.
