Indeed this is a huge flaw in society. I've recently been working on increasing my attention span. I can't fix the world but I can try to improve one small part of it in my control. Me.
Do you have any advice on increasing one's attention span?
The first thing I did was to completely remove all the notifications from my devices.
I check them when I want to, not when they want to.
I also try to consume more long form content (i.e. books, movies, etc.) instead of short (i.e. tweets, headlines, etc.)
Writing also helps a lot. Keeping a journal has been proven to be great for your mind. I am planning to make this more often.
