attention economy
Below you will find a #selectiveattention test.
Selective attention acts as a filter to ensure that the our brain works best in relation to its tasks. E.g., if you are texting while driving, driving isn’t your primary focus, and this may lead to you know what.
"It's easy to miss what you're not looking at."
Have you ever thought that our attention is a product?
We sell it every day. Not necessarily for the money.
In return, we get various interactions, positive emotions, professional growth, and #information.
Why is it so important to develop attention as a skill?
The ATTENTION ECONOMY has been our reality for a long time.
But we haven’t noticed, have we? 😊 While it’s only air that we consume more that information. And the less we can control our attention, the more chaotic this consumption is.
🙇🏻♀️Think about it:
We get information from where our attention is.
We become professionals where our attention is.
And - if you don't control your attention, someone else will! From inside or from outside. Whether it’s your habits or talented marketers.
Notice how your attention is being deflected.
Where? From what?
Return attention to yourself. To what's important.
Train it like you train a muscle 💪🏻
It is not difficult, but it takes time. Get started now.
