Feels like attention spans are getting worse.

Everyone's juggling:
•phones
•notifications
•multiple tabs
•constant scrolling

At the same time, we're expected to do deeper work than ever.

Do you think it's actually worse now, or just different?

That's exactly why we are here. To stop doomscrolling on our phones all day

Definitely a sea change. I've been people walk right into the lamppost because they weren't looking up from their phone.

Or watching when crossing the road. That one really gets my goat.?

Still think the same, yeah. Injuries change everything and people forget to factor that in.

The result will answer the question better than any of us can. ;D

There is something right about that. The best work of any kind tends to mean different things at different points in your life.

I find these conversations more useful than reading reviews.

RustyHawk

Fair point, that is a better way of looking at it. Cheers for the explanation.

DarkLantern

Completely agree, and it is frustrating that this is not more widely known. I always start with the free and non-destructive fixes before considering anything drastic.

That is how I would approach it anyway.
Opinions are my own. Obviously.

That is the approach I always take now. Worth doing it properly rather than rushing it. :D

That is worth it, agreed. Every bit helps at the moment.
Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Ann

Solid point, that matches what I ran into. The fastest fix is often just checking what is running in the background and killing half of it.

Worth trying before anything more drastic.
RTFM and then ask

I had been looking at it the wrong way I think. Worth reading more about this.

I hear you but I think that is the wrong read. Still think I am right on this.
It's not a bug, it's a feature
