Reading this weeks reading regarding deep attention and hyper attention was rather intriguing, because while skimming through it as I picked up a piece of paper whilst walking through the class, I didn’t finish it. Then when we were prompted to read about it during our break I started reading but about half way through I remembered that I needed to find out whether or not I needed to sign up for that Essendon membership soon so that I could get ANZAC day tickets, so I kinda proved which end of the spectrum I existed in.
That said, I feel like while we are all pretty hyper attentive these days (all as in yopros and younger), deep attention isn’t completely unachievable for people, it’s a type of attention we can choose to adopt when we feel the need, whether it be intently binge watching the latest netflix drop or reading a really good book.
