Take a moment. Let’s accept that we don’t have to be busy all the time. While many rave about the benefits of multi-tasking, just as many encourage the calming effects of single tasking, which means focussing on one thing, one person, one task, one goal – at a time. Single-tasking can be applied to many areas of our lives and can help make us happier.

Your Solve puzzle ritual is one of the best examples that reveals the benefits of single tasking. There are often times throughout the day when we do not have the time to sit quietly for an hour, but a ten minute time out could be the solution. Utilize your Solve puzzle ritual -- and simply take a moment to close your eyes and breath deeply for one minute. Tuning in helps to stop your racing thoughts and give your inner voice (often softer than your mental voice) a chance to be heard. Start your Solve puzzle ritual with this focussed approach. Even if you don’t get the solution right away you will have allowed your mind and your brain a...

Team Solve believes that setting time aside to concentrate on your daily puzzle ritual has many benefits. Our brains consume more energy than any other part of our body. When we engage in our daily Solve puzzle ritual and single-task – all of our attention is directed at that one thing – solving the puzzle.

On the other hand, multi-tasking (performing two or more tasks at the same time or switching back and forth between tasks), is much more taxing on our brain’s energy reserves, mostly because we are switching our attention back and forth or trying to be efficient while performing several tasks one after another.

Focussing on the Solve puzzle collection, and not doing other things at the same time, benefits our short term memory because we’re not continuously using brain power to remember where we left off, which tasks we’re on and when to switch tasks again!

Focussing and “single tasking” saves energy so it helps keep our energy levels up. Focussing on your Solve puzzle collecti...

We’ve all heard about multi-tasking.  Most of us do it out of habit because we lead busy lives.

We are multi-tasking when we are:

• Doing two or more things at once
• Switching back and forth from one thing to another

Our lifestyles sometimes place a huge emphasis on doing many things at once – in the name of efficiency and productivity – but Team Solve is here to say that we support the benefits of “single tasking”.  Building a daily puzzle ritual is an ideal way to bring single-tasking into your day.  Choose a comfortable space, at home or away, and settle into your Solve puzzle collection – and nothing else.  This is single tasking – focused and concentrated – relaxed and enjoyable.

Let’s consider a quote from author Christopher Westra --- “The quickest way to do many things is to do one thing at a time.”  Your brain is under stress if you are multi-tasking.  Well into the 21st century, a lot of our time is spent using computers, smartphones and tablets that bring us instant me...

In uncertain economic times or due to cost constraints, some large and community newspapers have had to discontinue their puzzle features or at worst, some have stopped printing altogether.  This might have resulted in a loss of your daily puzzle routine – but this is where Solve can fill that void.
