La nueva ciencia de la atención

From the constant demand for attention of technology, to 24 hours of constant headlines, and the overwhelming demands of work, our ability to focus is being stretched harder than ever. We are suffering from a collective attention deficit disorder that makes us feel scattered, overwhelmed and anxious, but unable to resist distractions like emails, video calls, messages or notifications. We actually use all of our attention at every moment of the day, but Dr. Jha has found that unless we create space in our minds through specific, directed daily practice, we can't control what captures our attention. This makes us vulnerable to any distraction, an experience she calls "attention degradation".
