How To Fix Your Focus & Stop Procrastinating: Johann Hari

You're not being present in your life. You're not being present at all. Yohan Hari. He's been on a journey to understand attention and why we seem to have so little of it these days and know something's really wrong. But I don't know what it is. And that's when I thought, are we having an attention and focus crisis? If we are, why is it happening? And most importantly, what can we do to get our brains back? So you've got all these smart engineers and they've got one incentive, how do I take Steven's attention? the m absolute most I can. We need an attention movement to reclaim our minds. If our goal is as a country to be a country that's innovative, my God, a country of people who can think is gonna be innovative. Country of adult people flicking between WhatsApp, Snapchat, and TikTok ain't gonna be a place full of innovation. Do you want your child to be able to focus? Do you want your child to be able to read books? Do you want your child to be able to think deeply? Of course you do. Okay, we've got to fix the society and culture to give them those things and we absolutely can change them.
