‍In the digital age, our attention is more valuable than ever. The amount of time we have to read, watch, listen and participate in almost every facet of life has exploded.

This increase in the number of stimuli has only made it more challenging to filter through all that stuff and find the things that are worth our time. But this is changing fast.
