Why Are Moms Losing Focus? Insights from "Stolen Focus" by Johann Hari
I've been reflecting on how inattention impacts us as moms, and Johann Hari's book Stolen Focus really hits home. It explains why we feel more distracted these days, especially with the endless information at our fingertips.
Moms can relate as we juggle childcare, activities, and everything else.
Hari explains that it’s not just newspapers anymore; it’s social media and our phones delivering nonstop info.
This constant influx is both a blessing and a challenge—especially when it comes to managing our own healthcare and that of our kids.
While it’s amazing to have so much accessible knowledge, it can feel mentally overwhelming.
As a professional, I see this too.
There’s valuable information for moms on social media, but sorting through it all can be tough.
I often find myself overloaded, scrolling through research or posts, and I know I’m not alone.
How has motherhood changed your focus?
