Balance is critical for maximizing success and productivity. Thank you for this message.

this is derived from the focused and diffuse modes of thinking that Dr. Barbara Oakley teaches on her Courseras' Learning How to Learn course. In essence, the focused (or coffee) mode leverages the path of least resistance in our neural pathways to, as the name suggests, accomplish a singular task with the ways we already learned to. The diffuse (or beer) mode of thinking "bounces off" in a wider area of our brain, allowing us to follow loosely connected threads of thoughts, that's when the shower thoughts come into play. While the focused mode outputs efficient results, it strains the brain to be procedural and burns out- limited - willpower. Moreover, taking to some to truly relax and access the diffuse mode is essential for creating new neural connections, thus essential for learning, and crucial for coming up with creative, new approaches.

You've encouraged me to start my channel and put out quality content. 500+ subscribers later and we're still going. Thanks man

Productivity is about how much results you can give. 💯

I believe that to be balanced means you need just as much being imbalanced as being balanced.

Your content has given me the motivation to go out if my comfort zone and start a KZbin channel! Thank you Andrew 🙂

Ugh, yes! Finally! A healthy perspective on productivity. Thanks for the great video!

I didn't realise I was in such a rut until I recently took my first solo adventure to Los Angeles.

The coffee mode usually turns on for me in the morning. Beer mode sets in in the afternoon. I'm still seriously working on the intensity. Cheers!

[@leonmrrs]

This is truly phenomenal. Thanks so much. 🙌

[@JeffHarrison1960]

Very good reminder, it is about balance. I have been adding this “creative” time to my day via play, and noticed my creative thoughts have improved and become clearer. Combining them now, my coffee modes are even sharper. Thanks for the reminder…

[@davidduran2984]

The thing is... Beer mode is my default mode, even without alcohol

[@herrar6595]

Great to watch you grow, still remember your old vids in my recommended where you hadn't found your style, now it feels very personal and congruent :)

[@RugRecap]

Focus is the key

[@GeorgeWohar]

This is a very insightful video. Going on beer mode can help you upgrade your identity and help you take action then produce results hence, being productive.
