I'm curious what the shape of the distribution actually is in terms of attention span, and if there is skew.
I used to spend hours and hours pouring over math problem sets. There isn't a 'tiktok'ed way to be good at solving linear signal problems by hand, as far as I can tell. It is simply a matter of focusing and practicing, being able to recognize patterns and take the appropriate steps. I'm not saying it was a useful skill to learn, but it was a difficult one to pick up, at least for me.
While I do feel that my attention is often "pulled" by multiple things, when I am truly able to focus is when I have sole responsibility, rather than many conflicting things. In that sense, my attention is often drawn by multiple things.
