How to Spend Less Attention on What You Didn’t Choose

Practices to recognize and return from unintentional distraction

When we think of focus, we typically associate it with putting all our attention on a task.

Getting into flow. Grabbing our headphones and forgetting about the world, just to zero in on what’s in front of us.

But we often forget the other side of focus.

When our attention gets stuck in the wrong habits, the wrong actions, we need to shift that focus somewhere else: back to ourselves.

This week’s companion explores a moment we’ve all experienced: when our attention drifts to the irrelevant.

I hope what you find inside helps you recognize those moments sooner and gives you better ways to pull yourself back to the present — to return — when your mind starts to wander.
