Focus Vs Attention, the Focus Crisis, and Flight Mode EP 156

Guest, Penny Zenker, talks about how focus can help our productivity, get strategic, and make little shifts in our mindset. She explains the difference between focus vs attention.  Then Catherine and Penny take a deep dive into how social media and the pandemic have affected our focus.  They also discuss how this can lead to a trauma response. Tune in to hear Penny answer the question, “Why are we in a focus crisis?” And how we can all become focusologists by taking back our focus on the areas that we can control and letting go of the things that we can't.
