Your Attention Is Being Hijacked. Here’s How to Take It Back.

Does this sound familiar: You sit down to do some real focused work, and within minutes you’ve checked your phone, opened three browser tabs, and mentally planned your lunch — all without realizing it. Our attention doesn’t just wander anymore. It’s being quietly, relentlessly pulled apart by a world designed to fragment it, and most of us have forgotten what real focus even feels like. Zelana Montminy is a behavioral scientist who advises Fortune 500 companies and her new book is called Finding Focus: OwnYour Attention in an Age of Distraction. 📚 Get a signed copy of Brené Brown's new book, Strong Ground when you sign up for an annual subscription to the Next Big Idea Club.
