In the first episode of 2023, we speak to Gloria Mark about the quality of attention and how to manage distractions in a digital world.

Gloria Mark is Chancellor Professor at the University of California Irvine, and has dedicated the majority of her academic career to understanding how the way we use technology is affecting our cognitive resources and attention span. She’s the author of “Attention Span: A Groundbreaking Way to Restore Balance, Happiness and Productivity” which is launching this week and so we were thrilled to have Gloria introduce her book and share some of her findings and learnings with us.

In this episode, we answer questions like: 

• What is attention and why is it important? 
• Are our phones to blame for distraction? 
• Do we have to delete social media to focus? 
• What does a good, cognitive-friendly day look like in a digital day?
• What can we do to manage and boost our attention? 

Read up a shortened version of the interview and our key learnings on on our blog.
