    Juggling many things at the same time? Notifications distracting? Finding it hard to focus? In brain work, the ability to focus is your biggest competitive advantage. 

    The habit of constantly jumping from one task to another decreases productivity by 40 %, causing chronic stress and impairing memory and intelligence.

    The good news is that focus is a skill you can and need to train. We offer you the top 3 easy-to-apply tools from recent neuroscience to improve your focus, motivation, and productivity. 

    The speakers are Veera Virintie, neuroscientist, and Johanna Vilmi, performance psychologist.
