Attention Fatigue
Attention fatigue is the mental exhaustion that occurs after prolonged periods of intense focus or information processing, making it hard to concentrate or make decisions effectively. In our digital age, it's often amplified by constant distractions like emails and social media, turning everyday tasks into cognitive marathons that wear down the brain's resources.
Did you know?
Research from the University of California, Irvine, reveals that the average office worker experiences attention fatigue after just 90 minutes of uninterrupted screen time, leading to a 20-40% drop in cognitive performance—yet incorporating a five-minute break every hour can restore focus almost immediately, a simple hack used by elite athletes and CEOs alike.
