Distraction dissipates when we notice it, because noticing it leads to attention, and attention can lead to focus. Despite the cunning design of our distractions, we retain the capacity to choose what we attend to. We can choose what we do with this hour, who we listen to, who we ignore, who we amplify, what habits and hobbies we cultivate, what opportunities we take. It is this reclaiming of our choice in what we pay attention to that reconnects us with ourselves and our sense of agency.
