Summary.
Mindfulness is the ability to stay focused, while being aware of your thoughts and surroundings and being able to recognize and move past distractions as they arise. This is getting harder. Research shows that people spend almost 47% of their waking hours thinking about something other than what they’re doing, which impairs their creativity, performance, and well-being.
This assessment aims to help you understand how mindful you are. The authors provide you with a rating of your mindfulness and recommendations for improving it.
