Episode notes

What is the biggest shift in your belief system or understanding around attention that you've experienced from when you first started to now? Oh, that's such a great question. I've had a lot of shifts. Maybe maybe one of the biggest ones was the idea that we're just as likely to self interrupt as we are to be interrupted by something externally. These external interruptions serve to condition us, to self interrupt. It's the nature of our lives and the digital age.

Gloria Mark is Chancellor’s Professor of Informatics at the University of California, Irvine. She received her PhD from Columbia University in psychology and studies the impact of digital media on people’s lives. She takes a deep dive in examining multitasking, interruptions, and mood with the use of digital devices. She has published over 200 articles, and in 2017 was inducted into the ACM SIGCHI Academy which recognizes leaders in the field of human-computer interaction.

Gloria's book, Attention Span: A Groundbreaking Way to Restore Balance, Happiness and Productivity, is available now!
