Time and Attention

99: Attention Span

Listen Later

On this episode, I chat with Gloria Mark, the author of the new book Attention Span. Topics covered include:

  • The benefits of managing our attention deliberately;
  • Why (and whether) we lose control of our behavior using our devices;
  • What makes email so damn stressful;
  • The “attention traps” we fall into;
  • How rote tasks are actually good for us and replenish our energy;
  • The countless factors that influence our attention;
  • How we all have different preferences when it comes to multitasking.
