Description
Attention Span: A Groundbreaking Way to Restore Balance, Happiness, and Productivity by Gloria Mark offers a transformative perspective on how digital distractions affect our ability to focus. Drawing from decades of research, Mark reveals that the average person switches attention every 47 seconds and that it takes 25 minutes to refocus after an interruption. She introduces a nuanced model of attention, emphasizing that various states—such as focused, rote, and bored—each serve valuable roles in our cognitive well-being. The book challenges the conventional obsession with constant focus, advocating instead for a balanced approach that includes intentional breaks and mindful disengagement. Mark provides practical strategies to reclaim control over our attention, reduce stress, and enhance productivity in an increasingly distracted world.
