In 1971 social scientist Herbert Simon famously said “What consumes information is rather obvious. It consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention.”
This statement was made before smartphones, social media, texting, and email. Today it is more important than ever.
In a world filled with distraction, attention is our competitive advantage.
Stop deli-slicing your attention and limiting your ability to focus deeply.
Do great work by eliminating distractions.
