We live so distracted in our life in general, our attention is usually so disperse, that we find it difficult to be truly present with the person in front of us at any given moment.  We are often there without really being there. Or we\u00b4re only half there, devoting just a small piece of our attention to the other person. And the worst part is that we\u00b4re now in the habit of living like that, we consider it normal, and we use all kinds of excuses to justify it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But when we make the effort to be truly present, leaving all distractions aside for a little while, the difference doesn\u00b4t go unnoticed. Connections become deeper, shared moments become more valuable. And if we are at the workplace, communication likely becomes more efficient, greatly helping to get the work done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So wherever we are, let\u00b4s remember that the best present we can give others is our presence, our full attention, during the time we spend with them. Family, friends, work colleagues, whoever it may be. And then distance no longer matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hoy os traigo una cita con la que me he topado esta semana, sacada de un libro sobre gesti\u00f3n de equipos que se llama Software for your head (\u00absoftware para tu cabeza\u00bb).
