Attention
the act or state of applying the mind to something

- Multi-tasking is possible but futile due to not being able to work at the rate if you were to put effort

- Attention: New form of currency in the world, everything gnaws at your attention, red arrows in a thumbnail, eye opening colors to seduce you to keep scrolling etc..
It’s difficult to get from one to another. Our mind will always have some “residue” a part of us will recall from the previous thing we were doing
