So to avoid this take breaks between the tasks so that there will be no residue of the previous tasks.ĭistractions and interruptions just deviate us from our actual intention. But that leads to attention residue which means it becomes more difficult to put something in your attentional space as the residue of the previous tasks remains in your attentional space. When you focus on one task to another you get a rush of dopamine as you change tasks. When we fill our attentional space up to the brim every time this leads to remembering fewer things and it affects our memory. This thing occurs because you cram too much in your attentional space. Like going into a room and forgetting why you came there. When you cram too many things into the attentional space the attentional space gets overloaded and that's why you forget the tasks which you had to do. Try to be selective with your tasks or what you permit into your attentional space. Our mind is like a scratch pad the thing which you think gets wiped off the next moment. The content of the attentional space is constantly changing when you notice it you will understand that our minds keep on changing the subjects. When we choose what we should pay attention to that information occupies our short-term memory so that we could remember and can work on it.

Attentional space allows us to hold, manipulate and connect information simultaneously. Our attentional space is what we are aware of. Attentional space is the amount of mental capacity we have available to focus on and process things at the moment.
