I’m currently reading “Deep Work” by Cal Newport, and one idea in particular really stayed with me: the way we direct our attention doesn’t just affect our productivity, it shapes our lives.

That thought led me back to Winifred Gallagher’s work on attention, and to a broader reflection on how focus, distraction, social media, and now AI are quietly influencing how we think, work, and experience meaning.
