In this episode, Angela Lockwood discusses the concept of the attention algorithm and how it affects our focus and productivity. She explains how algorithms on social media platforms curate content based on our preferences and interests, creating an echo chamber effect. Lockwood emphasizes the importance of building our own attention algorithm that aligns with our goals and values. She suggests strategies such as using visual cues, creating curated playlists, surrounding ourselves with inspiring people, and choosing positive and educational content. By taking control of our attention algorithm, we can shape our reality and move closer to our desired outcomes.
