When you have a homework assignment to complete, a book to read, an instrument to practice or a room to clean, is it easy for you to stay focused and do it, or does your mind wander? Do you quickly begin to daydream, check your social media feed or think about what you want to eat? Are you distracted by constant dings and pings from your phone? In short, do you find yourself thinking about everything but the task at hand? Do you wish you could improve your focus and learn to avoid distractions? If so, you are not alone. And, we have an exercise to help you. This week we published [a lesson using a New York Times interactive series](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRo9L8yP4QhAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjQvMTAvMTUvbGVhcm5pbmcvbGVzc29uLXBsYW5zL2xlYXJuaW5nLXdpdGgtdGVzdC15b3VyLWZvY3VzLWNhbi15b3Utc3BlbmQtMTAtbWludXRlcy13aXRoLW9uZS1wYWludGluZy5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTU1JmVtYz1lZGl0X2xuXzIwMjQxMDE4Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTEzNzEzMCZubD10aGUtbGVhcm5pbmctbmV0d29yayZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTgwNzU2JnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZw4yOhJnj3pTq1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD) that invites you to try to spend 10 minutes with a single piece of art: No distractions, no notifications — just a full 10 minutes of attention. Afterward, we invite you to reflect on the experience and explore what the experiment reveals about your, and our, ability to pay attention in a world of distractions.
