The brain as a processor focuses on the task at hand, analyzing and interpreting information to perform actions. It's about active engagement and problem-solving.

In today's world, work environments and tasks have become increasingly complex. With the large amount of things to be done, it is easy for a person to simply get lost. To avoid drowning in this complexity, various tasks need to be kept in mind at all times. But that, in turn, causes the brain to become cluttered with data. So instead of the brain being used as a processor, it tends to be used as a storage device. Since our brains are inherently bad at multitasking, trying to keep it stuffed with pending tasks wastes precious resources and prevents it from focusing on actions – it keeps it from actually getting things done. In order to achieve maximum efficiency, the brain has to be able to focus 100% on the task at hand, without dwelling on pending projects or other unrelated things.
