Is your ability to focus and pay attention in free fall?

You are not alone. The average office worker now focuses on any one task for just three minutes. But it's not your fault. Your attention didn't collapse. It has been stolen.
Internationally bestselling author Johann Hari shows twelve deep factors harming our focus. Once we understand them, together, we can take back our minds.

    Quotes

    • Zojahas quotedyesterday
      In situations of low stress and safety, mind-wandering will be a gift, a pleasure, a creative force. In situations of high stress or danger, mind-wandering will be a torment.

        If we’re just frantically running around focusing on the external world exclusively, we miss the opportunity to let the brain digest what’s been going on

          ‘Creativity is not [where you create] some new thing that’s emerged from your brain,’ Nathan told me. ‘It’s a new association between two things that were already there.’ Mind-wandering allows ‘more extended trains of thought to unfold, which allows for more associations to be made.’
