The anatomy of attention
The forces of distraction
Attentional states and how focused attention differs from flow
Why our attentional resources diminish over the course of a day
Night owls v early birds
Task switching
The nature of digital agency
Managing our attentional rhythms
What organizations, leaders, and individuals can do to reclaim attention spans
And so much more.
