Creating more moments of attention

We have limited moments of attention in life, each with an opportunity cost. Wasting attention on pointless online arguments or upsetting news consumes valuable mental resources. However, we can create more attention moments by being fully present instead of partially distracted or letting our minds wander aimlessly. By bringing greater awareness to familiar activities like truly connecting with loved ones, savoring food, or achieving focused work, we enhance their quality. Since attention forms the foundation of all our experiences, what we choose to pay attention to ultimately shapes our life's quality. How we attend to the present moment largely determines the character of our experience and overall wellbeing.
