If you can instead just be cool with the fact that you are having trouble concentrating, or that you are being a bit overloaded with stimulation, and let it all wash over you, the brain seems to cope much better - surprisingly I find I tend to actually take in more with this attitude as well.

Good points!!
I try not to tax my brain too much but sometimes it's unavoidable especially when you're doing meetings that require design and analysis. I find it a constant challenge to filter out the noise of the conversation and just pick out the salient points. Actually makes work more faster and no-nonsense.
