Thanks for this, I have ADHD so my attention is very rarely my own! After you mentioned setting your phone to greyscale I checked out the accessibility options in Windows 11 and there are actually some really nice ones! I recommend the following: 1. Color filter -> Greyscale 2. Contrast themes -> Dusk (adjust the background darkness to your preference) 3. Adjust your monitor contrast setting to something comfortable for your eyes 4. Set all Windows 11 notifications to "Alarms Only," at least during your work hours EDIT: This isn't an "attention" thing necessarily, but I also recommend setting your monitor to the highest possible refresh rate because it reduces LCD flicker that can cause eye strain and mental strain.

Rather than going on my phone, I like to do puzzles but instead of puzzle apps on my phone that do nothing but try and get me to collect coins and watch ads, I have a physical puzzle book on the side table I can just grab. Stops me going on my phone and also keeps my mind active

Had this video in my "Watch later" for 2 years before finally watching today. Now in my 6th year of PhD program. Still hopeful that I'll finish instead of mastering out. Now feeling more optimistic (and intentional) that this thesis will get done! Time to go meditate.

Something that helps me a lot for concentrating is to simply turn my phone off and block websites like youtube or Facebook. If I want to listen to music I'll just use Spotify or Soundcloud.

Hey Andy! I sometimes listen you your or other creator's videos while I do daily tasks like cleaning or job hunting etc. How is that affecting my attention span? I'm trying to consume a lot of varied content recently to make up for time lost inside my science bubble. I'm 24, fresh out of college looking for a job and feel like I'm in a race against time.

This video is so good! My decision point is to take my dog out. He has such a good vital clock. He is the only one who would force me to go out and make a pause. Plus, you can wander around your thoughts while you walk, and it counts as doing some exercise. Go get a pet to your local shelter :)

that is absolutely true. There are many "incomes/entries" that goes into our mind, you need to control what comes inside and process it so you can grow. These things such as phones, can steal away that attention you need to process what goes inside your mind.

With a B.S., I was a "scientist" in a medical research lab for many years, performing experiments directed by the "principle investigator." They now have post-docs in those sorts of jobs at the same rate of low pay and tedium, because there are too many people with PhDs who can't find jobs. Now that I am retired with Social Security to shore me up, barely, I have gotten into my own investigations into dress design. I want to "award" myself with a PhD in dress design in the same time it normally takes to accomplish the currently useless PhD. Problems include time structure, maintaining motivation, and overcoming resistance to creative meaningful work. I have greatly benefited from your videos.
