0:00.8 | Focus is a really odd human quality. |
0:04.9 | It's one of those things that's intangible, right? |
0:07.3 | So we just notice really how clear and dialed in our minds are, |
0:13.5 | and where sometimes we notice how scattered our attention and our focus is. |
0:18.5 | But it feels hard to control. |
0:20.8 | Like it feels like it's not up to us to be able to control the strength of our focus, |
