EFR 681: How to Increase Your Attention Span, Find Focus, Fight Distraction, and Restore Balance, Happiness, and Productivity with Dr. Gloria Mark
How many tabs, browsers, and apps do you have open right now? Do you ever notice how glued we are to our devices, yet it's so hard to even focus on what's on our screens? You're not the only one… it has become a way of life for so many of us in the Digital Age. So, what do we do about it?
Gloria Mark debunks popular myths about focus and attention span and reveals the science behind why multitasking is a lie. She talks about why mindless scrolling isn't a total waste of time and why digital detoxes aren't as impactful as we think. Plus, Gloria teaches you two ways to gain more agency over your attention.
Dr. Gloria Mark, PhD is a psychologist and professor at UC Irvine who studies human-computer interaction (HCI), which essentially is our relationship to our devices. Gloria is also the author of "Attention Span: A Groundbreaking Way to Restore Balance, Happiness and Productivity", which debunks popular myths about our attention and technology, then teaches you how to use your technologies and maintain a healthy psychological balance.
