We discuss:-  How attention is a non-renewable resource and the power of consciously choosing where we are placing our attention- Linda's exploration of setting up timers for certain apps on her phone- Laura's experience with the dating app and how it takes her attention- How apps feed us what will keep us on there as long as possible- The collapse of the public and private spheres with social media, and how it commercializes our personal lives- The difference in our relationships with social media depending upon our age- What do we wish to be doing with our time rather than spending it on these apps- Looking at what is also working with where we are placing our attention- The loss of connection that comes from always being on our phones- The perils of paying attention in Laura's dating life!- How our attention is atrophying and what the cost of that might be- The active question of how much attention we want to give to the current political landscape and how we are navigating itResources:- Anne Helen Petersen's Culture Study Substack, in particular this piece: https://annehelen.substack.com/p/the-social-media-sea-change- Charlie White's TEDx After Photography: The Linguistics of Online Image Exchange: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6YcB1o2GDI- Ultraviolet: https://weareultraviolet.org/- Erin in the Morning: https://www.erininthemorning.com/Support the show~Linda's book: Homecoming: One Woman's Story of Dismantling Her Inner Cage and Freeing Her Wild Feminine Soul   ~Laura's Monday Money Missives: https://goodwithmoney.substack.com/~Linda's Wild Woman in the Burbs: https://lindasewalliuskatz.substack.com/Support the Show: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2281161/supporters/newEmail us: [email protected].
