Popcorn brain is a term researchers use to explain the state of mind that is caused when we are constantly bombarded with information and digital interruptions. The onslaught of information causes us to pop around like popcorn kernels, from one place to the next, and that raises our stress, leads to feelings of overwhelm, and diminishes our productivity. It also makes it harder for us to focus and maintain our concentration at other times. But a few low-tech practices can help us minimize this "popcorn brain" effect and better manage our work and our stress. In this episode, Polly explains what's behind popcorn brain and how we can avoid it.

Cameron Hughes is the guy who dances in the aisles, tosses t-shirts to the crowd, and laughs with spectators. He considers himself a professional spark plug to get people fired up and having fun, not only at sporting events around the globe but also in life.
It's about sharing a smile, connecting to the good energy of others, and responding in a way that inspires good feelings. But before bringing the energy, Hughes takes time to visualize the arena and the crowds and the connection he builds, and that gets him fired up.
Sharing that gift with others to make it about them.
We can all be this kind of spark for the people we encounter in our lives, Hughes says, but first, we have to acknowledge the spark in ourselves and invite people in.
