[ Concentration ]

There’s a difference in concentration levels needed to glance at twitter posts versus the concentration (and time) needed to listen to a podcast or read a few pages in a book.

The time spent doing that newsfeed scrolling is generally too short of a time block for the (better) alternative of reading a few pages of a book, or listening to a podcast.

And it’s not just the time factor – it’s the concentration required.

Our ability to concentrate on one thing – one article, one podcast, one book, one subject – is being eroded. This is not good for solving complex problems.
