Danny Cahill

Paying attention is a recruiter’s super power. It’s clear we all get distracted and modern living makes it harder…that “craving” you feel when you haven’t checked your phone in the last five minutes? That’s a combination of societal and brain chemistry forces combining to make you, according to studies, not just less productive, but less creative, and more depressed. But there are “hacks” to be had, reprogramming that can be done, strategies that can be put in place. We can never free ourselves from habit, but we can replace bad habits with good ones.
