Episode 96
To maintain my law license I am required to take 30 hours of Continuing Legal Education (CLE’s) to keep up on recent changes in the law. I was watching a CLE video where I heard something interesting.
The instructor in that CLE video said, the average person with average concentration and an average attention span hears only about 60% of all the words that are said to them and they retain only about 10% of what they hear. Therefore, they learn only about 6% (60/10) of what they hear.
Coach Vince Lombardi the coach of the Green Bay Packers in the 1960’s said to Hall of Fame Player Jerry Kramer:
“Mr., the concentration period of a college student is 5 minutes, high school is 3 minutes and kindergarten is 30 seconds, you don’t even have that, so where does that put you?”

Increasing your attention span and your concentration period helps make a positive impact in your life.
