Thank you for the kind comment. As for tweeting at a luncheon or conference, I think that is much like taking notes and may in fact help you focus more on the task at hand, which is learning from the speaker. For a recap afterwards, I would save that for a blog post.

John

I love this- actually heard a speaker talk about how multi-tasking is perception rather than reality in that the brain can only focus on one thing at a time, albeit many of us are micro focusing between multiple tasks- the reality is we are wired to process lots- but all singularly. You are so right and I have been so guilty so often of detracting from the overall quality of the present moment by infeffectively trying to be somewhere else simultaneously. Thank you for this important piece and I have been wondering about something I”d love your input on. So if we are at a conference or luncheon tweeting out to world about event are we in fact doing ourselves and others a favor or would it be better to show up entirely present and then tweet later? Love to hear your input

As always- insightful
