AI has upended schooling as we know it. Students now have instant access to tools that can write their essays, summarize entire books, and solve complex math problems. Whether they want to or not, many feel pressured to use these tools just to keep up. Teachers, meanwhile, are left questioning how to evaluate student performance and whether the whole idea of assignments and grading still makes sense. The old model of education suddenly feels broken.So what comes next?In this episode, Daniel and Tristan sit down with cognitive neuroscientist Maryanne Wolf and global education expert Rebecca Winthrop—two lifelong educators who have spent decades thinking about how children learn and how technology reshapes the classroom. Together, they explore how AI is shaking the very purpose of school to its core, why the promise of previous classroom tech failed to deliver, and how we might seize this moment to design a more human-centered, curiosity-driven future for learning.Your Undivided Attention is produced by the Center for Humane Technology.

It's pretty common knowledge that office workers across the world have a sedentary lifestyle, which is linked with a whole host of potential health problems. But did you know that most of us also unconsciously hold our breath when staring into an electronic screen? The phenomenon was discovered by former Microsoft executive Linda Stone back in 2008, who named it email apnea. While she did a lot of breathing exercises at home, she realised those went out the window when she was in front of her computer screen looking through her emails. Fast forward to the 2020s and it's not just emails that cause us to hold our breath. Laptops and smartphones are now part of our everyday lives, meaning we spend more time than ever before using electronic devices. What's going on in our bodies when this happens? What are the health effects? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: What are lucid dreams? What are primitive reflexes?

In this enlightening episode of "Customer Experience University," Dr. Joseph Michelli addresses a crucial but often overlooked challenge in the realm of customer service - "continuous partial attention." Former Apple & Microsoft executive Linda Stone coined this term to describe the habit of frequently splitting our attention between multiple sources, often due to digital distractions. Dr. Michelli presents an in-depth exploration of how "continuous partial attention" can severely undermine service quality and customer satisfaction. More importantly, he provides actionable strategies for overcoming this pervasive problem: Adopt the "Fully Present Rule": Learn why dedicating your complete attention to each interaction can foster a sense of respect and maximize the potential of every customer or team member interaction. Minimize Distractions: Understand how minimizing digital distractions can enhance your ability to listen attentively, respond effectively, and provide personalized service that boosts client satisfaction and retention. Create a 'Fully Present Zone': Discover the benefits of creating a designated space for focused interaction and how such an environment encourages a culture of mindfulness and attention. Throughout the episode, Dr. Michelli reinforces the significant benefits of offering undivided attention, both for customers and colleagues alike. He explores how such attention can make others feel valued, respected, heard, necessary, safe, comfortable, and connected. Join in for this insightful discussion on one of the most critical aspects of customer service. Remember to share the podcast episode and subscribe to stay updated with the latest insights. You can also reach out to Dr. Michelli for more in-depth discussions on fostering excellent customer experiences.

You have a finite amount of attention to spend on behalf of your daily work. How you allocate that finite attention is critical to your success. However, there are any number of distractions that can arise and pull you out of focus.There is a dynamic that I like to call “the ping.” It's a perpetual pin- prick in my gut that says, “You should go check your email!” or “You should go check your voice mail!” Or “You should go check your phone, because maybe the president of the United States is calling you with a national security crisis!” That's the level of urgency the ping delivers, and it has us living in a state that researcher Linda Stone calls “con- tinuous partial attention.” I'm always kind of here, but I'm also kind of somewhere else at the same time. Do you think you do your best work that way?Of course not.Focus is an act of bravery, because to say yes to one thing, you must say no to many, many others. Yes, you may always fear what you are missing out on, but that is the price that you must pay for the clarity that comes with sharp, honed focus.Be brave today and protect your attention. Dedicate some time off the grid to delve deeply into your most important, focused creative work. You will be rewarded.Focus is an act of bravery.QUESTIONDo you ever have time off the grid when no one can reach you? Carve out time today to focus on your most important work.

In an editorial printed on Monday morning, Chinese state media outlet Global Times mocked the US and Canadian government's decision to shoot down an aerial object flying over the Yukon territory over the weekend. Plus, a majority of Canadians oppose the federal Liberal government's previous attempts to expand access to medical assistance in dying for those with mental illness. And the Durham District School Board recently censured and barred trustee Linda Stone from all committee assignments after several tweets the trustee posted that questioned gender identity and the potential risk of puberty blockers.

Every team needs a chat tool – but it's not easy to know who should be looped into different conversations, or how open team communication should be. We all know the feeling of being inundated with messages in shared channels, and we've also been that person left out of a decision that happened in direct messages. So today, we're debating the merits and pitfalls of open channel communication. Debater Kelvin Yap argues in defense of open channel communication, supported by Matt Abrahams, a strategic communications expert and host of the podcast “Think Fast, Talk Smart”, who shares what we miss when we opt for DMs. Eli Mishkin argues against the distraction from open channels, with the expertise of former technology executive Linda Stone who coined the term “continuous partial attention”.

Zes'presso is a midweek slice of inspiration from the best Zestology guests. These mini-episodes feature some of my favourite interviewees. I'll be back with the regular Zestology on Monday.

Remember fiddling around until the final hour to hunker down and complete an assignment for school or a project for work - even though you knew of the deadline for weeks? There you were, confident you could serviceably complete the task and submit it in a nick of time. WHAT IS PARKINSON'S LAW? Parkinson's Law is the adage that work will expand to fill the time allotted for its completion. The term was first coined by Cyril Northcote Parkinson in a humorous essay he wrote for “The Economist” in 1955. If someone has 5 hours to rake leaves from a yard - and apprises that task of clearing the small yard might take, at most, 2 hours, the tendency - per Parkinson's Law, is for the person to take the full 5 hours to rake the leaves. They might rake at a slower pace, take frequent breaks, walk around to assess their progress, adjust their gloves, hat and jacket, and so on. NEW DEFINITION OF PARKINSON'S LAW. In his book The Velocity of Information: Human Thinking During Chaotic Times, Doc postulates a second interpretation of Parkinson's Law. In this take, Parkinson's Law represents the ingrained need for humans to have a distinct ritualistic start and end routine to their work days. He wrote about this in his book, centering on a business owner in Chicago who found people knocking on his door (a closed non-essential virtual reality gaming business), to inquire about renting a table for a few hours - so they could unfold their laptops and “got to work.” BREAKING PARKINSON'S LAW IN CHICAGO. The following is an excerpt (pages 75-76) from the book The Velocity of Information: Human Thinking During Chaotic Times by David P. Perrodin. “Prior to 2020, Aaron Sawyer's Redline VR, a virtual reality club and bar in the Ravenswood neighborhood of Chicago, was doing great business. His mega-computers, 3D game configurations, and 360-degree immersive goggles and haptic wearables were something that people could not get at home. He offered the best zombie-battling experience in the city. So much so that Sawyer considered opening a second location (1). Then the pandemic hit. Chicago city government started deciding which businesses were “essential,” and thus allowed to operate, and which were not. Redline VR was not deemed “essential.” Under Mayor Lori Lightfoot's plan, Redline VR was allowed to reopen in phase four (2) at 25 percent capacity. There was no phase five. There was no revenue coming into the business. So Sawyer pivoted. Again and again (3) Parkinson's Law states that “work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion (4).” Linda Stone, the consultant who has studied attention behavior, found that during the pandemic, people were checking work emails “at all hours of the night,” as their homes became their workplace (5). At the outset of the pandemic, many people left their office on a Friday, began working remotely the following Monday, and did not return to their offices. Many still have no return date in sight, and a significant number of positions have become permanently remote. Getting out of the home, and into an office setting, became an attractive option for some people. At home, the roles of spouse and mother and caregiver all intersect with the workday. Work now fills the physical space once reserved for family and relaxation. The mind is not always able to differentiate between the two.” REMOTE WORKERS WANTED A PLACE TO GO TO WORK. In May and June 2020, Aaron Sawyer observed an uptick in people asking if they could rent his VR stations, which were similar to work cubicles, for a few hours or for a day. “Redline VR rebranded to offer rented office space, at just fifteen dollars for the day. Curtains and separators were put up so people could keep their social distance and have a work space of their own, away from home and family.” CITATIONS.

How many tabs are open in your browser right now? How many tasks are on your mind while you also try to read this caption? Are you giving any one thing your full attention? Chances are, you're probably reading this while also attempting to do something else. Linda Stone, a tech writer and consultant, said that, “Continuous partial attention is our new default setting.” That was in 1998. In the last 20 years, this "continuous partial attention" has only become more partial because of technology. When "continuous partial attention" is our default, it debilitates our capacity to hear, see, adore, petition, experience, and commune with God, what Christians call prayer. In this series, Unhurried Rhythms, we're walking through everyday rhythms to help you live an unhurried life in the Way of Jesus. There is no shortcut to spiritual maturity, but we hope to remove the stumbling blocks of shame and intimidation from practicing spiritual rhythms. This week, we're taking a practical deep dive into the topic of prayer. You'll learn a few tangible ways to practice prayer, and walk away with the tools to integrate this rhythm into your day. ----------------- Catch up on the rest of the series below: Week 1- The Way of Deformation: https://youtu.be/vmo56ytyhVY Additional Resources for this series: https://www.necchurch.org/portfolio/rhythms/ ----------------- For more spiritual formation content, follow Northeast Christian Church on social media.

On Friday, November 12, 2021, classes were canceled for many public school districts in North Carolina. The intended purpose of the motion was to offer a mental health day for teachers and students experiencing burnout from the pandemic and the cumulative stress of contemporary education. Doc, with 25 years experience as an educator, describes the sudden popularity of mental days for school staff and why mental health days will both increase and also compound teacher burnout. WHAT HAPPENS ON MENTAL HEALTH DAYS? Staff and students are typically given vague guidance on how to focus on their mental health during days off. When Doc asks educators what they do on mental health days, they respond, “catch up on work,” instead of yoga, journaling or anything related to self care. Some note that the days off actually add to their workloads - and that makes sense. Instead of covering a planned lesson in 5 days, now they have 4 days, or 20% less time. Let's be honest, a “day away from school” isn't a magical elixir. This is trendy, but ineffective. Teachers are still burning out. MENTAL HEALTH DAYS DISRUPT ROUTINES. The school calendar provides consistency - especially now. Students have been out of school or toggled between hybrid and in-person instruction the past two years. Mental wellness days disrupt the continuity of routine. A human's predictable routine can be called the torus - a concept Doc wrote extensively about in his book School of Errors. FIVE WAYS TO SOLVE TEACHER BURNOUT. Here are five ways to counter teacher burnout. Note that some call for disrupting long-held practices, such as the summer-off school calendar. (1) OBEY PARKINSON'S LAW. Humans function efficiently with defined start and end routines to daily activities. It wasn't just the teaching profession that seemingly went 24/7 during remote learning, but schools have maintained one foot in remote learning and the other in the brick classroom. This has mushroomed the prep and planning for teachers. Schools can't saddle teachers with planning for online, hybrid, and in-person learning. (2) YEAR-ROUND SCHOOL CALENDAR. In The Velocity of Information, Doc wrote about the groundbreaking work of World War II Army psychiatrist Dr. John Appel. Appel studied burnout in combat soldiers. He discovered that frontline warfighters would be killed, wounded, captured, mentally collapse, or found to be missing in action by 200 days. Increasing pay or championing “Why We Fight” didn't offset the burnout. By that account, increasing teachers' compensation, even doubling it, would likely have minimal effect on burnout. It might increase retention, but retaining a burned-out teacher is a bad idea. Back to Appel, he found that the British got 400 days out of their soldiers on the Italian front lines. How? The British would pull fighters out of duty within twelve days and then rest them for four days. In overlaying this thinking to K-12 schools, a year-round calendar creates rest periods - true “breaks” versus a periodic mental health day. Furthermore, year-round schedules lessen the impact of summer learning loss. Summers off goes back to when we were an agrarian society and then a recreation society. Most educators that talk with Doc are ready for year-round calendars. Beware, the school calendar is a sacred cow. (3) EMBRACE CROWD-IN MINDSET. There is zero sense that we are in transitory chaos. When people are convinced that chaos will continue for months or years, they surround themselves with comfort items. Remember the Michael Keaton movie Mr. Mom? In it, a fictional company called “Schooner Tuna” was steered away from advertising gimmicks by Keaton's wife. In a surprise move, Schooner Tuna reduced the price of its tuna by 50 cents a can to convey empathy during the economic crisis of the time. Schools are overloaded with initiatives - and these initiatives are baking teachers. (4) CRACKED BOARDS. Recon Sniper Clay Martin spoke of “cracked boards” when Doc interviewed him about dealing with long periods in high stress settings. In short, it's OK to tacitly acknowledge that you are frustrated - it's the last fuse before burnout. (5) QUIT ZOOMING. Former Microsoft executive Linda Stone is an expert on human attention. In The Velocity of Information, Stone mentioned that she advises clients that Zoom calls are exhausting and a phone call places less demand on attention. Not every conversation requires a Zoom call.

Fast forward to 2020 and the introduction of full or part time at-home learning.A laptop or chrome book in front of your daughter several hours a day.She’s bored, she desperately misses her classmates, friends and teachersSoooo, she starts playing Among Us, while …· simultaneously Snap Chatting her buddies· scrolling through TiKTok or Instagram· finish up a bit of overlooked homework· googling something that wasn’t clear to her· daydreaming about all the fun things she misses about schoolAnd wa-la, her brain is receiving and processing input from several different sourcesSo, it no surprise that when it’s time to complete an assignmentShe thinks, “I can’t concentrate on this”And googles “Do I have ADD?”That's why I want to offer you and your daughter a 3 Step Solution so she can stay focused in a world full of distractions.

A breathing practice for balance and focus. Continuous Partial Attention is a term coined by Linda Stone which describes the modern tendency to be paying superficial attention to many things at once. This has been linked with higher levels of stress, lower levels of focus and difficulty with being present. Our breathing offers us an amazing tool to counteracts this, and this practice utilises some simple techniques to helps us regain focus and balance

Me? Teach? You must be joking. But there are 1.5 billion kids out of school right now - including my kindergartener - and all I know about teaching is what I learned at age 8 from my Aunt Dana while I helped her set up her first grade classroom for the new school year: every student should have a notebook. And if you need more than one worksheet, use carbon paper.Look, this is a professional’s job. I am not trained to take on my child’s education. But here we are. Now, it’s my turn to earn that shiny red apple. It’s my responsibility to put information into my child’s head in a compelling and retrievable way. How can I preserve my sanity, my income, and maintain her love of learning when all I want to do is throw away the books and play hooky?This week, I speak with Linda Stone. She has been teaching young actors in Los Angeles for 40 years when they’re on set, and not at school. She crams in lessons in 20 minute increments between rehearsals, long shots and emotional scenes, and still her students return to their schools after production is done on the literal same page as their classmates. She shares her most valuable lessons on what to teach within time constraints, and what are the essential supplies she uses to do it.In the second half, Anya Kamenetz, journalist, author and NPR’s education correspondent gives me the lowdown on which online resources are the best, and which unsolicited EdTech emails I can just delete before bothering to open them.The fate of the future actually is in parents’ hands. Can we panic now? The User’s Guide to Now is here to help.

Do you ever feel as though your marketing messages are lost in a sea of digital overwhelm for your clients and customers? If you aren’t being heard, your message dies. This has significant implications for the health of your business. Learn how to harness the primordial laws of human perception to stand out as Dr. Sabrina interviews Jamie Mustard, author of The Iconist. Jamie teaches the science of what causes anything to stand out in the modern world. Through his work, Jamie has observed the primal laws of BLOCKS™, which explain why anything stands out and endures in the mind or fails to.  In his book, The Iconist: The Art and Science of Standing Out, through pop stories and comprehensive research, he shows how BLOCKS™ solve the problem of us all being made invisible as we compete for less and less available attention in a messaging and media over-saturated world. He teaches how BLOCKS™ allow anyone in any field to stand out at will based on the natural primordial laws of human perception. As host of a popular RadioActive talk show on KXL101.1 FM in Portland, OR, Jamie interviewed hundreds of designers, innovators, artists, and agents for social change who are having an impact all over the world.  An avid consumer of popular culture, Jamie is a graduate of the London School of Economics. He is obsessed with the economics of attention and has consulted for Intel, Cisco, and Symantec. He breaks all this down into why we entrepreneurs need to have a simple way to get our message across in terms of marketing and branding, as well as why this is important for our teams and our overall quality of life as entrepreneurs. Prepare for an eye-opening and fascinating conversation! The Profit by Design Podcast is a Tap the Potential production in collaboration with Small Business Consulting Group.  Show Highlights: In 1950, a person would be exposed to approximately 250 advertising messages in their day-to-day life. By 1970, the number of advertising messages in a day increased to around 2,000. The last time this was studied was in the late 1990s, and 5,000 - 7,000 advertising messages a day is what a person was exposed to. This was all before the internet hit full stride and before social media. Today, the number of advertising messages we are exposed to on a daily basis is estimated to be 10,000 - 15,000. A person can’t process even 1,000 of these messages, so what this means is that anybody trying to communicate is just one of tens of thousands. Jamie’s book, The Iconist, offers a solution to this very real problem. “Continuous partial attention”, a term coined by Linda Stone, who did some research for Microsoft and Apple, means that we’re being bombarded by so much information that we’re only partially paying attention. As a business owner and entrepreneur, this is a huge thing when you’re trying to get your business noticed. To be iconic is to be the first choice. Anything busy in a world overloaded with content, no matter how good it is, instantly gets discarded. People have to have an idea of who you are and what you’re offering them before they have a chance to think in their lizard-brain. Jamie discusses a chapter in his book called, “Road Signs” and how warning labels work. The book teaches you how to turn some aspect of what you do into something that has the same power as a STOP sign so you get that instant fixation. As long as there’s something behind it that’s genuine and real, people will engage further and remember you. “What is the best thing about myself that intersects with what my customer most cares about?” The answer to that question is what you present in a bold way on your website. Then, they can learn about all of your other strong points that you have to offer. “Drag" is when you’re presenting all of the busy stuff but you haven’t self-identified the best of what you have to offer that your customer is wanting. Some psychological ramifications of too much choice include paralysis, anxiety, dissatisfaction, and depression. These same psychological ramifications happen to apply to feeling like you can’t get noticed because there’s too much content around you. Science and research show that when we present complicated things with big, bold, simple imagery, it changes the way we relate to complicated information. We retain more of the information and appreciate it more. Adults crave this elementary communication even more than children do. A BLOCK™ is the anatomy of what makes something iconic. Dr. Sabrina relates how in Mike Michalowicz’s book, Profit First, the Profit First Equation of Sales - Expenses = Profit is a great example of a BLOCK™ and the way it makes the Profit First concept iconic. BREEED - Blocks Repeated Exhaustively Everywhere Equals Demand. This is the snow-ball effect. Jamie shares his poignant backstory and how he came to be interested in the subject of his book.

You'll know the answer by the end of this podcast, and you'll know what to do about it. Linda Stone coined the phrase continuous partial attention. Stone also coined "email apnea" which means "a temporary absence or suspension of breathing, or shallow breathing, while doing email." And it’s all the more interesting because she has a real tech background… at a very high level. She was at Apple, in the early early early days. She was a Microsoft Vice President. And then she became a celebrated thinker and writer about the world we live in. You’ll be fascinated by her stories of working at Apple. And you’ll love her dinner party tactics… which I’m definitely going to be using.

Widely recognized visionary thinker & thought leader Linda Stone is a writer, speaker & consultant focused on trends & their strategic & consumer implications, innovation & the physiology of our relationship with technology, & how our relationship with technology can evolve.
