Ways of thinking about attention and focus and why sometimes being bored and rote activity give us the energy to recharge. Many of the takes are not particularly novel, but the knowledge is presented in an accessible way.

The research is fascinating and I appreciated Mark’s exploration of cultural forces that have driven technology to become what it is today. I wish her “solutions” section had been a bit more compelling— after spending so much time demonstrating that much of our attention switching is subconscious, her solutions seem to rely on us being able to consciously plan where and when to focus.

Attention span is a book i never knew I needed - it taught me so much about myself and useful tools and methods to get me through this slumped period I am in during my current point of life. I learned some useful skills and habits to help me transition to a more productive self.
