"Research by Gloria Mark reveals that in 2021, adults could only focus on a screen for an average of forty-seven seconds. This is a stark decline from two-and-a-half minutes in 2004. Our attention spans are shrinking due to technology and lifestyle factors, but experts suggest that establishing a strong sense of purpose can combat this trend, emphasizing the importance of aligning daily tasks with foundational motivations to maintain focus."
"To discover our core purpose, Eloise Skinner recommends the 'five whys' exercise which involves questioning your motivations until you reach the fundamental reason for a task. This practice helps individuals clarify their goals and maintain focus by reconnecting with deeper personal motivations, thus allowing them to navigate distractions more effectively."
"Maryanne Taylor emphasizes the benefits of morning walks, stating that exposure to natural light prompts the brain to switch off melatonin production and promotes alertness through the release of cortisol. Regular morning walks not only prepare us for focused work each day, but also establish habits that can enhance cognitive performance over time.”
