Pay attention. That's how we talk about attention. We pay with it, in economic terms. Through that lens, this podcast is costing you your attention. But if I can pay attention, does that mean I can get more of it? How can I expand my attention?
If we look at attention through the lens of economics, there must be attention poverty, too. Where we just can't seem to get on top of things, and we're pulled in different directions all the time. And just like economic poverty, if we're not careful, we end up so deep in debt that we lose our agency, sometimes even having to declare bankruptcy.
By taking some time to center our day in the morning morning, I think we're performing a kind of attention fitness. This is like a gym for your attention span, and hopefully by practicing centering and focusing every day, we can invest into your attention bank account, and let you spend the rest of your day on solid footing. Nice work.
