Brain Organizing is much more challenging than simply organizing a desk. It takes courage and stamina and it also takes daily practice.\u00a0\u00a0“Organize Your Mind Organize Your Life – TRAIN YOUR BRAIN TO GET MORE DONE IN LESS TIME” <\/a>by Paul Hammerness, MD & Margaret Moore with John Hanc. Here’s an excerpt from it:\u00a0“Through the use of imaging techniques, researchers at the University of Colorado were able to observe the \u201cthinking\u201d-brain regions of these subjects (including areas called the prefrontal cortex and the anterior cingulate cortex) actually regulating the emotion-generating regions.
