Your Attention Please
Manage episode 330520619 series 3330142
Laurel Moffatt asks you to focus on what you find easiest to ignore.
There are three layers of attention according to former Google strategist, James Williams:
Spotlight - that which engages with immediate actions, like finding your socks
Starlight - the layer of attention we give to longer-term goals, like getting a degree
Daylight - the attention that enables a person to know why we have our long-term goals in the first place
Laurel talks about what happens when we lose our 'daylight', that which helps us see all of our surroundings, ourselves, and our place in the world.
LINKS
Here's a link to T.S. Eliot's The Four Quartets, and lots more information about the author.
If you'd like to read more on our diminished ability to pay attention, try Johann Hari's Stolen Focus.
The next time you're in Santa Fe, check out the Georgia O’Keefe Museum.
And here's a verse in the Bible to Jesus as daylight.
