The irony of spending time on an article about attention that covers no new ground and is all noise, very little signal...

If you do want a take on attention that is pretty interesting I'd recommend Stolen Focus[1] by Johann Hari.

Hari suggests there are lots of factors at play - he claims some of them are in our control, but many aren't. He looks into tech dark patterns, context switching, ADHD, sleep and a whole bunch of other factors.

Recommend it, I found it fascinating and like his writing style too.
