I don’t know about you, but when I work, I had to put so much concentration in what I do,so a little interruption from time to time, makes it so hard for me to get back to the part where I was interrupted from!

I would call “brain at work” be like a factory with all the little machines working together. it could be like a division of departments, each serving to function a specific task such as :

The Thinking Department : this is a department that one can compare to a clever inventor. It helps solve problems, make decisions, analyze! Think of it as comprising of detectives piecing together clues. This is also the department that comes up with bright new ideas!

The Learner Department: this department acts like a sponge, which absorbs all information that was feed in. It could be compared to a Giant Library in a nanoscopic state, storing all information and memories. It involves understanding, relating ideas and making connections between prior and new knowledge. It involves an interactive procedure of the various different components ~ memory, attention, language, organization, processing.

The Planner Department : this department makes plan, organizes what was fed in, sort things out. The planning process includes developing tasks to meet objectives, determining needed resources, creating a timeline, determining tracking and ass, finalizing the plan, and distributing the plan as it deems fit.

The Sensing Department : this department helps you see, hear, smell, taste and touch the world around you. Think of it like different detectors, picking up information from your senses, to interpret new information. It uses these senses to filter information to determine what is relevant, using the details of a situation to arrive to a decision and understand the world around.

When you say, “CAUTION: Brain at work!” ~ it means that the minuscule factory is in motion, each department functioning in its designated task, to bring about:

• Solution to a tricky puzzle : the brain is using the Thinker to figure things out step by step.
• Learning a new skill : the brain is using the Learner to soak up information.
• Planning a big project: the brain is using the Planner to organize thoughts and make sure the implementation would be as close to accurate

So, why the “CAUTION”? It is just to understand why we respond with irritation, frustrations, when we get frequently interrupted with unnecescary questions. as we try to let the brain work. The brain needs the right environment to work well:

Peace and quiet - no distractions like loud noises or too many things to look at.

Focus - give the brain one task at a time, instead of trying to do too much at once.

Patience - learning and problem-solving take time, so be kind to the miniscule factory, and don’t get discouraged, as it tries to do its tasks.

Remember, the brain is amazing! By taking care of it and letting it work its magic, you can achieve great things! Everyone’s brain works differently, so some people might show they’re thinking hard by being quiet, staring at an empty space, while others might pace around or tap their foot. Respect the working brain! Be curious about how it works and use it wisely to make the most out of it!
