Want to Read $ 15.99"…it is time to rethink our relationship with our personal technologies. We need to reframe our goal from that of maximizing human productivity with our devices, to instead using them in maintaining a healthy psychological balance, while still achieving our aims."-Gloria Mark, Attention Span: A Groundbreaking Way to Restore Balance, Happiness and Productivity
"We know from project management that there is usually slippage, and tasks almost always take longer than what one envisions. There is also no room for fitting human well-being into task schedules. We need to instead relearn what designing a day should be in the twenty-first century digital world. It should include strategies to not exhaust yourself, and to improve your well-being. And it includes understanding your own rhythm of attentional states, and the fact that you have limited and precious cognitive resources."-Gloria Mark, Attention Span: A Groundbreaking Way to Restore Balance, Happiness and Productivity
"Design your day thinking that you have limited mental resources, knowing that taking time to replenish them will not only help you be less stressed and better able to resist distractions, but also more creative. We know how different activities affect our physical energy in the world, such as being with family or friends, coordinating a complex event, or taking a walk in nature. In the digital world, what taxes your mental energy? What things do you do that replenish your resources? What kind of rote activity relaxes you? At the end of the day, you want to feel energetic and positive. Don’t end up with your tank of resources on reserve when it’s only early afternoon."-Gloria Mark, Attention Span: A Groundbreaking Way to Restore Balance, Happiness and Productivity
