How long can you read or listen to an audio, such as a podcast, before you lose focus?
I’ve been testing myself over the last couple of weeks, so I can use the knowledge in 2010, to maximize the opportunities I have to learn.
I’ve found that I can read for 2 minutes and lose focus and sometimes I can read for 20 minutes before I lose focus. It depends on the material.
I’ve found that I can listen for a maximum of 20 minutes before my mind wanders.
So it seems I need to “chunk” the material I invest my time in and be careful not to exceed those timeframe’s or I’ll chance missing something important.
That also gave me an idea for a membership site or two, because I’m sure I’m not alone in needing small chunks of focused, quality educational material.
If you create content for an educational course of some kind, you might want to survey your members and see if they want short, but more frequent bursts of content, rather than one large bite of blather that really doesn’t get thru their focus filters.
I’ll let you in on the sites I have in mind to build as soon as they’re done, but I’m not starting anything until after the New Year. This time of year’s too important to waste on work
