Take time to listen and to reflect.
from How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy by Jenny Odell
The main tool to resist the attention economy is to become more present and aware of our surroundings. This will help us become more at peace and open to learning and communication.
How to Apply This
-
Sit in the park in solitude and observe the world around you.
Sitting in silence without being bombarded by information can prove to be a very eye-opening experience. -
While in the park, pay attention to the sounds made by people, animals, and plants.
By focusing on different sounds, you’ll learn to more easily recognize them and your attention span will broaden.
