Directed, Undirected, and Misdirected

The expression “pay attention” makes sense as we dive deeper into where and how our minds concentrate.

There are different types of attention:
  • Our choice to concentrate is directed attention.
  • Our intentional move to let our minds wander is undirected attention.
  • Our less productive, more troublesome use of the brain is wasted energy, or misdirected attention.
