Study Notes

Difficulty in Focusing

Johan Hari suggests that people find it difficult to focus because of the constant distractions from social media, notifications, and the expectation of being constantly connected.

Solution to Maintaining Focus

Hari suggests setting aside "focus time" where individuals can work without any distractions, and implementing a "k safe" - a 10-15 minute period of not checking notifications after posting something online.

Purpose of 'K Safe'

The "k safe" allows individuals to avoid the distraction of waiting for likes and comments, and instead focus on their task at hand.

Hari advocates for being more mindful of social media usage, taking regular breaks from it, and using it in a way that does not control one's life.

Attribution of Difficulty in Focusing

Hari attributes the difficulty in focusing to the constant stream of notifications, the constant validation seeking on social media, and the erosion of attention span due to constant distractions.
