Try this out! If you like, you can provide your score in the comments section. It would be great if you could offer your thoughts relating the responses you just put into the game to concurrent demands for your attention at work!

| Possible lines of thinking:
1) What could you feel happening to your attention as each game was added? 2) How much of your attention was spent intentionally making decisions vs. purely reacting the longer the game played out? 3) If you tried the game multiple times, did you change your strategy? 4) What happened to the quality of your attention as the game progressed? 5) What other feedback do you have? |
