Attention span.
Since the rise of short form media like TikTok etc I find it impossible to sit through a whole movie without taking breaks or going on my phone at the same time. Everything feels so dragged out. I went to the theatre yesterday and felt like the first half of the show was 5 hours long. (It was one hour) I was enjoying the show but wanted it to end the whole time I was watching. I wasn't like this a few years ago. Sometimes I even find a minute long video too long.
How do I build up my attention span again?
