How to Rebuild Your Attention Span and Focus (opens in new tab)

I'm not trying to imply that attention spans aren't shrinking. I don't know if they are.

That said, more often then not, I don't finish an article because its crap content-wise, or because someone decided they don't know how paragraphs work and made it one huge block, or someone needed to meet a word count requirement, or thought they could amp up the prestigious by going long-form without the meat to back it up.

I love that everyone is a content creator, but I don't have to give a bunch of mediocre blog posts on lifehacker the same attention I give to a James Joyce novel. I consider that an advantage not a problem.

Their reason for not having a second monitor is the exact reason why I like having a second monitor. One is for work, the other is for everything else to accumulate. Occasionally I need to do some comparison work copying a mapping or something, but for the most part, my second monitor is more of an aside than a real threat to my focus.
