I highly recommend this book, Stolen Focus, and the accompanying podcast from author Johann Hari. In them, Mr. Hari lays out a very convincing argument for why people have a much harder time paying attention than we did even 20 years ago. He also presents some fairly simple strategies for correcting it. Most of them involve unplugging ourselves from our various devices, slowing down, and relearning how to rest.
