About Laura | Booking Laura | Articles by Laura

As a child, I remember sitting for hours at a time, absorbed in my favorite books. My mother would enter the living room asking, "Didn't you hear me call you?" As I came back to reality, I would answer honestly, "No, mommy I didn't." And that was the complete truth! That level of concentration is very hard to achieve today. With noise, interruptions, people, and instant messages, so many things competing for our attention in the workplace that it's often very difficult to concentrate.
