#020 Brain waves to speed up your accounting
Christiane Constantineau, DESS, EMBA, CPB“ But I hate doing billing!” ", a client once told me, explaining to me why her cash flow was lagging. “ I'm a creative person. I need to immerse myself in flow to be productive . »
The flow state (optimal experience) is a trance-like state of consciousness, which is characterized by an ecstatic feeling of total immersion in one's activity. We feel engaged, focused and absorbed. The result? We carry out our tasks with great attention. We become happier, we learn faster and we develop our abilities. You've already had the optimal experience: think of work accomplished in a moment when nothing else existed. This is what will allow you to speed up your accounting.
For many people, it seems impossible to achieve this state while performing their accounting tasks. So the work is tedious and seems endless, and you get distracted by every email, noise or thought that arises. It therefore becomes difficult to be able to speed up your accounting with all these tasks.
A colleague recently spoke to me about brain waves, often better known by their English name: brainwaves . “Thanks to my brainwave synchronization app, my monthly billing only takes me four hours instead of eight. » She also told me that brain waves helped her get through her last master's session after she decided to stop taking medication for her attention deficit disorder.
In our brain, the activity of our neurons generates electrical currents, which combine to produce brain waves. The frequency in Hertz of the waves changes at the rate of our states. Thus, the higher frequencies Beta (13 to 40 Hz) and Gamma (40 Hz +) are associated with focus and concentration.
It is possible and very easy to “force” our brain to produce the type of waves that induce us into the state of flow . Type “binaural beats” or “binaural sound” into YouTube, or “ brainwave(s) ” or “ binaural beats ” into your App Store . There you will find a variety of soundtracks and tools. These work by sending two sound waves of different frequencies, but close together (maximum 30 Hz apart) separately into each ear using your headphones. Your brain intercepts these sounds and creates a third frequency to make up the difference. After a few minutes you feel different. If you choose a program that promotes concentration, you will realize after a few minutes that your billing seems incredibly more captivating. That's it, you're in the flow .
“For all tasks that require attention to detail, but which bore me, I use my brainwaves ,” my colleague tells me. You will imagine that the next morning, I had already downloaded an app and I had my headphones on. What a difference!
Do you know what I found even more extraordinary than the discovery of binaural sounds for concentration? This is because they can also be used to promote creativity, self-confidence, relaxation, and to manage energy levels. This is a little wonder that can bring huge returns… just explore and try!
