Some people find it easy to let their
mind wander, imagine and create
Some people find it really hard to focus
on one thing.
It is as if there is no ‘net on their brain
window’; lots of different ideas and
thoughts (not all important for what
they doing) get let inside!
Their brain can shift quickly away from what they are meant to be
thinking about to something completely different. Before they
know it, they have switched from maths to their dream holiday!
People with this sort of attention are often great at imagining and
creating new and original ways of doing things. Inventors, artists
and musicians often have attention like this.
Once they have thought of a new idea which captures their
interest, they may then find it easy to focus for a long time to get
it finished. This is sometimes called hyperfocus.
