Introduction

Our attention spans are getting shorter—much shorter—and Gloria Mark has the data to back it up. When she began researching the topic in 2004, people spent an average of 2 ½ minutes on any given screen before switching to another. In today’s era of multitasking, we’re down to a mere 47 seconds. Mark, a professor at the University of California, Irvine, and a visiting researcher at Microsoft, offers practical tips for how to restore balance—and a glimpse at how AI might help us with work wellbeing.
