Season 1

Description
Lucas and Luna explore the link between attention fragmentation and workplace exhaustion. They dive into a 2025 study from MIT showing that knowledge workers switch tasks every 11 minutes on average, and how this constant toggling drains cognitive reserves and fuels burnout. They discuss practical strategies like time-blocking, attention rituals, and the 'two-hour rule' to rebuild focus and prevent exhaustion. The episode offers a fresh perspective on burnout recovery by centering on attention management rather than just rest or boundaries.
