This Pod did not end where I thought it would. I thought we would seek an alternative to tunnel vision. I thought we'd mode/switch from tunnel vision to vista vision. “Expand your awareness,” I was thinking. “Take in the context. Read the room, people!”

But because job descriptions keep expanding, because skillsets keep specializing—a weird double movement that yanks and squeezes us at the same time—our vocations don’t allow us to pay out just one kind of attention at work.

So, in the first twenty minutes of your workday, as you’re trying to brace yourself for all the meetings, press “play” on this conversation about the multiple kinds of awareness our work calls us to pay out.
