Attention
Attention is the process of selecting, maintaining and directing cognitive resources to selected stimuli, tasks or internal content.
Definition
Attention is limited and susceptible to interference. It allows you to choose what becomes important at a given moment for information processing, memory and action. It may be focused, divisible, selective, alternating or permanent. Taking care of your attention also means taking care of your environment, sleep, stimulus levels and clarity of purpose.
