About this listen

These days, our way of thinking is being tested. This is due to the information, diversions, and decisions we must make rather than actual adversaries. We feel more dispersed even if the globe is more linked than before. Our surroundings—bright displays, noises, and sensations—act as little reminders to "pay attention." Consequently, we do. When we seek for anything, we often forget what we were initially searching for. It used to be simpler to concentrate.

You could read a page or ponder for an hour near the window without being sidetracked. You didn't stop talking, eating, or moving. It's always possible to quit now. Everything that was formerly motionless, such as sleeping, sitting in traffic, or standing in queue, has altered. Before we even recognize quiet, we have been trained to fill it. Our way of life and self-perception have been altered by this continual demand for our attention. Our tolerance has diminished and our ideas have become shorter. These days, we need prompt responses, straightforward fixes, and instant outcomes. We mistakenly believe that we are multitasking when we move between tasks, but in reality, we are distributing our energy across several unhelpful activities.

Our thoughts aren't designed this way. They are made for concentrated, intentional thinking, which transforms concepts into deeds and aspirations into realities. But this talent is becoming less prevalent since we don't utilize it very often. Nowadays, we consider attention to be a luxury due to the prevalence of distraction.
