Schwartz

More than a decade ago, cognitive scientists John Bransford and Daniel Schwartz, both then at Vanderbilt University, found that what distinguished young adults from children was not the ability to retain facts or apply prior knowledge to a new situation but a quality they called preparation for future learning.

In a study, Schwartz observed decision-making among college students during their senior year.

Schwartz found that while maximizers ended up with better-paying jobs than satisficers on average, they weren't as happy with their decision.

"Nearly everyone I know is addicted in some measure to the Internet," wrote Tony Schwartz in New York times.

As Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz have written, if you have too much time in the performance zone, you need more time in the recovery zone, otherwise you risk burnout.

like Schwartz and so many others,I often find myself distracted and off task.

Many of us, like Schwartz, struggle to stay focused on tasks that require more concentration than it takes to post a status update.
