Comment on Ask HN: I feel like I've destroyed my attention span. How do I get it back?

Comments

If you are looking for books about getting your attention back, I can only recommend Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi [0] and Deep Work by Cal Newport [1] I wrote an extensive blog post about both books (which happened to be on HN too), because they are kinda life changing.

- [2] https://www.robinwieruch.de/lessons-learned-deep-work-flow/

Read both and tried to follow the Deep work kind of model for a while, is harder than it looks. Specially being in a position where I don't a 100% control my time.

Fortunately, for the past year I been slowly setting up things in a way where I can defend my time better.
