Hey there, podcast listeners! Today we're diving into a topic that affects all of us in this digital age - our shrinking attention spans.

We've got a game-changing book to discuss called "Attention Span" by psychologist Gloria Mark, who's been dubbed "the definitive expert on distraction and multitasking" by none other than Cal Newport. 

Now, get this - on average, we spend just 47 seconds on a screen before our attention wanders. And if we get interrupted? It takes a whopping 25 minutes to get back on track. But here's the kicker - we're interrupting ourselves more than others are interrupting us! Dr. Mark's been studying this stuff for decades, and she's busting some myths wide open. Remember how we've all been chasing that elusive state of "flow"? Well, it turns out there might be a better way to think about focus in our digital world.

So, if you've ever felt like your attention is being pulled in a million directions, or if you're tired of feeling scattered and unfocused, you won't want to miss this episode. We're going to unpack some of Dr. Mark's groundbreaking insights and discuss how we can all rediscover our ability to pay attention in this distraction-filled world. 

Enjoy!
