• Decreased productivity
• Increased stress
• Difficulty concentrating
• Poor sleep
• Increased anxiety

The good news is that there are things we can do to reclaim our attention and take back control of our lives. In her book, Mind Reclaimed: Understanding the War for Your Attention, Dr. Susan Greenfield provides a comprehensive overview of the science of attention and offers practical strategies for improving our focus and productivity.

Dr. Greenfield begins by explaining the basic neurobiology of attention. She discusses the different brain regions involved in attention and how they work together to help us focus on the task at hand. She also discusses the role of dopamine in attention and how it can be hijacked by addictive technologies.

Once Dr. Greenfield has laid the scientific foundation, she offers a number of practical strategies for improving our attention. These strategies include:

• Set clear goals. What do you want to accomplish with your attention? Once you know what you want to achieve, you can start to focus your attention on the tasks that will help you reach your goals.
• Break down large tasks into smaller ones. This will make them seem less daunting and more manageable. You're more likely to stay focused if you're working on a task that you feel like you can accomplish.
• Take breaks. It's important to take breaks throughout the day to give your brain a chance to rest. When you're feeling overwhelmed, step away from your work for a few minutes and do something that you enjoy. This will help you to clear your head and come back to your work refreshed.
• Get enough sleep. When you're well-rested, you're more likely to be able to focus and concentrate. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep per night.
• Exercise. Exercise is a great way to reduce stress and improve your overall health. It can also help to improve your focus and concentration.
• Eat a healthy diet. Eating a healthy diet will give your brain the nutrients it needs to function properly. Avoid processed foods, sugary drinks, and excessive amounts of caffeine. These things can all interfere with your ability to focus.
• Practice mindfulness. Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention to the present moment without judgment. There are many different ways to practice mindfulness, such as meditation, yoga, or simply taking a few minutes each day to focus on your breath.

By following these strategies, you can start to reclaim your attention and take back control of your life. With a little effort, you can improve your focus, productivity, and overall well-being.
