Attention Span - The Focus Dividend - Bellamy Hawthorne

The fear that you’re losing control of your life isn’t just about missing deadlines; it’s about the relentless pull of

distraction stealing your most precious resource: your attention span. Part of Bellamy Hawthorne’s insightful

book explores why protecting your focus is essential in a world dominated by digital interruptions and constant

notifications.
