Deep dives
Reclaiming and redirecting rumination
The default mode network in our brain is responsible for rumination, but most of the time, our rumination is unproductive and focused on trivial matters. By reclaiming and redirecting our rumination towards our primary professional pursuit, we can achieve a higher quality of thinking and problem-solving. This involves clearing the cognitive clutter by eliminating dispersion and making focused decisions. When our cognitive landscape is centered around our main goal, we become more creative, solve problems better, and make progress even when we're not actively working.
