Podcasts about Attention span

Dr. Marc Isseks, author of Captivate: Engaging and Empowering Students in a World of Digital Distractions, talks bluntly about cell phone policies and his opinion that attempting to ban cell phones is pointless. He also discusses the ways that you can engage students who have a short attention span (sometimes it feels like zero, but there are a few seconds -- 3 seconds. Some would say that is zero!) His thoughts on starting class are important ones to discuss. Whether it is pop culture, or other tips he offers, we can engage students in learning from the moment they walk in the door.

In this conversation, Patrick discusses the principles of behavioural science and ethical persuasion, understanding human decision-making processes and the influence of social proof and authority on human behaviour. We delve into the seven principles of persuasion as identified by Dr. Robert Cialdini. They discuss the importance of authenticity, building relationships through shared values, and leveraging consistency in persuasion and the importance of reciprocity, liking, unity, social proof, authority, consistency, and scarcity in shaping relationships and driving sales. The conversation also delves into ethical considerations in persuasion, emphasizing the significance of intent and the long-term consequences of unethical practices. Through engaging anecdotes and case studies, they illustrate how understanding these principles can lead to more effective communication and decision-making. Enjoy this one.

They discuss common reasons it's hard to focus and three key interventions that can help most people. Rick teaches approaches from mindfulness practice, and Forrest explains how we can improve focus motivation and distress tolerance.

Imran Mahmood has 30 years experience as a criminal defence lawyer, working on all manner of high-profile cases. He's taken that knowledge and forged a successful 2nd career as a crime writer. His debut, 'You Don't Know Me', was presented as a closing argument to a jury. It was long-listed for the Theakston Crime Novel of the year, the CWA Gold Dagger in 2017, and was a BBC Radio 2 Book Club Choice. It's been adapted for a BBC/ Netflix Crime Drama. He followed that up with 'I Know What I Saw', which was a Sunday Times Crime Novel of the Month, and is now back with 'Finding Sophie'. It's about Harry and Zara, parents struggling to come to terms with their daughter who is missing. The police are unable to find any leads and they're growing ever more frantic and obsessed with their supicious neighbour who won't answer the door. We discuss his busy life as a barrister with a young family, and why he's chosen to spend what little free time he has writing novels. You can hear how both jobs have affected each other, why talking to a jury has helped novel writing, and why he thinks his greatest skill is simply getting words down.This week's episode is supported by Scribe Shadow, a game-changing tool for writers trying to reach international readers.

In this episode of *Ooohtheyfunny*, we tackle three wild and thought-provoking topics. First up, *"She Was Never Your Girl, It Was Just Your Turn,"* where we break down the Steve Smith cheating scandal and debate whether exposing someone on social media is justified or just petty revenge. Who's really to blame—the cheater or the side piece? Then, we dive into *"We Don't Get the Time to Care Anymore,"* discussing how social media has turned major news into quick trends that we forget in a week. Are we actually invested in what's happening, or just reacting for the moment? And finally, we ask a big *what if*—*"What Would Society Look Like Without Money?"* Would people still work? How would resources be shared? Would success be based on happiness instead of wealth? We break it all down with humor, real talk, and the unfiltered takes you love. Tune in!

Special Government Employee Elon Musk has attempted to access our most personal data. Meanwhile, Billionaire Tech Mogul Elon Musk attempted to take over one of the biggest artificial intelligence companies in the world. Coincidence? In other news, Edgelord Elon Musk and his band of misfit fanboys are trying to uncover massive fraud and corruption, reading the data wrong, and making up stories that feels right to them. Jon and Max walk through it all, with stops along the way for TikTok's triumph over app stores and the UK's move to confiscate encrypted content. Then, the guys debrief on this week's Offline Focus Challenge and Max gets some words of wisdom from Dr. Gloria Mark, author of the book Attention Span.

In the first hour of "Connections with Evan Dawson" on 2/19/25, our guests explain how technology has led to "attention fracking," and what experts recommend we do to rebuild our attention span.

Bill, Bryan, and Joey discuss strategies from improving your concentration in the practice room and for performances. Also- “Snippets.”

This week, I was reminded of the joy of creating something with my hands. It was nothing special, in fact they were very average, imperfect, lobsided. They took two and a half hours to make. It was, by some distance, the longest I focused on a single thing all week. I was at a ‘wheel throwing' pottery class. Trying to get my clumsy hands to caress clay into the shape we were aiming for. I got comfortable with failure. All I thought about for two and half hours was that damn clay. I didn't look at my phone, think about work, the rest of the day, or even the fact I was splattered in clay. It was awesome being caught up in the moment. But it brought something else into sharp relief - how terrible my attention span is for the rest of the week. I'm not a huge fan of New Years' resolutions (how are they going by the way?) but 2025 just may be the year I resuscitated my attention span. According to Dr Gloria Mark, one of the world's leading ‘attention span' experts, I was experiencing flow - a state of deep engagement, total immersion in an activity. It's a creative experience, with the reward coming from the doing rather than the result. Flow is almost the complete opposite of what we experience in the digital world. Dr Mark's research shows we spend an average of just 47 seconds on any screen before shifting our attention - she calls this kinetic attention. You can blame social media, the internet, email, the way apps are designed to manipulate our brains, but it's still on each of us to decide how we behave online - we're as distracted we let ourselves be. The more we flick between screens, the more we multi-task, the busier we are, the more we deplete our attention capacity and executive functioning. We're exhausting ourselves. In her book Attention Span: Finding Focus for a Fulfilling Life, Dr Mark has a huge amount of information on all this. To summarise, if you want to reduce stress and tiredness, she suggests taking breaks to exercise or do a cross word, designing your day around it so you do your hardest thinking when you're most focused, and sticking to a daily goal. They're all simply steps. But they do require conscious effort. Ironically, I followed none of them writing this editorial. Gosh it took forever. I'm hoping that if I throw a little more clay this year the flow will spread to other areas of my life. So do you have something in your life that totally absorbs you, and it work beautifully to provide fulfilment? Or have you decided this was the year of working on your attention span? How's it going? Maybe you've put down the phone - or put restrictions on your device use. How easy has that been? LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textIn this episode, we explore the changing landscape of social media and the declining effectiveness of personal branding.We start by discussing the oversaturation of influencers, which has diluted genuine influence, leading many users to follow others for self-promotional reasons rather than meaningful content. This creates a cycle where engagement focuses more on self-promotion than on real interaction.We also address "engagement farming," where users employ tactics like posting controversial content and using automated systems to boost metrics. This practice has contributed to a decrease in the quality of social media interactions.The conversation shifts to the rise of short-form content, which caters to shrinking attention spans but limits the depth of information shared. We reflect on the paradox of increased loneliness despite social media's hyperconnectivity, as the quest for followers often detracts from building genuine connections.Looking ahead, we consider the potential for a return to quality and authenticity in social media. We discuss what this might mean for content creators, brands, and users, and how platforms could evolve to promote meaningful engagement.Overall, our discussion provides insights into the current state of social media, its challenges, and possible future directions, encouraging a more thoughtful and intentional use of these platforms.في هذه الحلقة، نستكشف المشهد المتغير لوسائل التواصل الاجتماعي وتراجع فعالية العلامة التجارية الشخصية.نبدأ بمناقشة التشبع الزائد للمؤثرين، مما أدى إلى تخفيف التأثير الحقيقي، ودفع العديد من المستخدمين لمتابعة الآخرين لأسباب الترويج الذاتي بدلاً من المحتوى الهادف. هذا يخلق دورة حيث يركز التفاعل أكثر على الترويج الذاتي بدلاً من التفاعل الحقيقي.نتناول أيضًا "زراعة التفاعل"، حيث يستخدم المستخدمون تكتيكات مثل نشر محتوى مثير للجدل واستخدام أنظمة آلية لتعزيز المقاييس. ساهمت هذه الممارسة في انخفاض جودة التفاعلات على وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي.ينتقل الحديث إلى صعود المحتوى قصير الشكل، الذي يلبي فترات الانتباه المتناقصة ولكنه يحد من عمق المعلومات المشتركة. نتأمل في مفارقة زيادة الشعور بالوحدة رغم الاتصال المفرط لوسائل التواصل الاجتماعي، حيث أن السعي وراء المتابعين غالبًا ما يأتي على حساب بناء علاقات حقيقية.نظرة إلى المستقبل، نفكر في إمكانية العودة إلى الجودة والأصالة في وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي. نناقش ما قد يعنيه هذا لمنشئي المحتوى والعلامات التجارية والمستخدمين، وكيف يمكن للمنصات أن تتطور لتعزيز المشاركة الهادفة.بشكل عام، توفر مناقشتنا رؤى حول الوضع الحالي لوسائل التواصل الاجتماعي وتحدياتها والاتجاهات المستقبلية المحتملة، مما يشجع على استخدام أكثر تفكيرًا وقصدًا لهذه المنصات.

By using AI, tasks like coding, debugging, and understanding complex documents, such as white papers, have become more accessible. This shift emphasizes the importance of understanding how to effectively prompt and interact with AI to maximize its capabilities.Blockchain's Simplicity and Significance: The conversation revealed the elegant simplicity of blockchain technology, particularly Bitcoin. Despite its technical complexity at first glance, the core mechanisms—like the transaction ledger—are remarkably straightforward. This simplicity, combined with the groundbreaking nature of decentralized systems, positions blockchain as both a financial innovation and a conceptual work of art.Challenges for Gen Z with AI and Attention: Alexander discussed the unique challenges his generation faces with attention spans shaped by the internet and social media. While this digital immersion offers advantages, such as a natural aptitude for navigating tech tools, it also creates hurdles, like focusing on dense materials. He shared how creative approaches, such as time-lapse recordings for accountability, can transform learning into an engaging and rewarding process.The Future of Software Development Careers: With AI increasingly capable of performing technical tasks, the demand for junior developers may dwindle. Alexander advised aspiring developers to embrace entrepreneurship, leveraging AI to build their own projects. This approach not only enhances practical skills but also positions them as creators in a competitive market where the definition of “developer” is rapidly evolving.The Evolution of Distributed Cognition: The episode touched on how technology has transformed distributed cognition, from early written communication to the internet and now AI. Platforms like social media are already curating personalized worlds for users, but AI's advancement could make these experiences even more immersive, raising questions about individual agency and shared reality.Navigating the Technological Singularity: Both Stewart and Alexander reflected on the concept of the technological singularity—the point at which human understanding can no longer predict future technological developments. They discussed its philosophical implications, likening it to a black hole where no one can see beyond its event horizon, emphasizing the profound uncertainty it brings to humanity's trajectory.Balancing Human Connection in an AI-Driven World: The conversation underscored the importance of human connection and shared experiences amidst increasing AI-driven customization. While AI can create tailored virtual worlds and digital interactions, Alexander and Stewart noted the enduring value of real-world activities like engaging with nature, forming authentic relationships, and fostering creativity in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.

I'm convinced that attention is the most important human faculty. Your life, after all, is just the sum total of the things you've paid attention to. We lament our attention issues all the time — how distracted we are, how drained we feel, how hard it is to stay focused or present. And yet, while there's no shortage of advice on how to improve our sleep hygiene or spending habits or physical fitness, there's hardly any good information about how to build and replenish our capacity for paying attention.Gloria Mark is a professor at the University of California, Irvine, and the author of the book “Attention Span.” And she's one of the few people who have deeply studied the way our attention works, how that's been changing and what we can do to stop frittering away our attention budgets. This was our first release of 2024, a kind of New Year's resolutions episode. And since it can sometimes help to be reminded of the intentions with which you began your year — especially in the midst of a high-intensity election season — we thought we'd share it again. Book recommendations:“The Challenger Launch Decision” by Diane Vaughan“The Undoing Project” by Michael Lewis“The God Equation” by Michio KakuThoughts?
