How to manage the attentional bias

  • Pay attention to your attention. Whenever you feel your attention is being automatically pulled into a specific direction, ask yourself why this is the case.

  • Cultivate open-mindedness. Being open-minded is not something you just decide to become. It can be cultivated by asking good questions, reading books outside of your usual interests, and connecting with people who think differently.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
