2-1-23 the human mind: Novelty

-          We prefer to have wide variety of input instead of having the same input repeatedly

Scientists have found that:

-          Average people can stay paying attention to something that doesn't change for 10 minutes, and the maximum individual time is 30 minutes

-          After that, the mind's attention starts to shift to somewhere else. The attention really declines

So,

-          Every 10 minutes you should give something new, interesting, different to people in order not to lose their attention

-          The moment you get boring, the mind (people's mind or your mind itself) will shift attention to something else 

-          You should make something new every 10 minutes when you are doing the same thing for a long time:

-          Change posture

-          Yawn and stretch your arms

-          Eat, drink something

-          Sing a little

-          Change the way you do things

-          Tell a joke

-          Act a very small scene

-          Move around

-          Jump

-          Change seats

-          Do 10 push ups, sit ups, squats

-            Look at something else
