Hello friends, welcome back to the show.

My guest today is Dr. Gloria Mark.

She's the Chancellor's Professor in the Department of Informatics at the University of California

and an author whose research focuses on human computer interaction.

Not being able to focus and suffering with distracted attention is one of the most common complaints

amongst people in the modern world.

The ability to stay focused on a single task for a long period of time is hugely beneficial

and yet has never been more difficult to achieve.

Expect to learn what attention actually is and how it works.

The average amount of time that people spend on a single task in the modern world,

why attention is so easy to distract.

Whether multitasking is actually a thing, how to take back control from your distractions,

how to deal with guilt around being distracted, the best way to design your daily routine for maximum focus,

and much more.

Really, really cool episode here, very much needed by pretty much everybody,
