A Week of Attention
Three essays and a simple architecture for rebuilding attention - one guarded hour, one honest silence, one unhurried walk.
Attention is not restored by resolving to concentrate harder. It is restored the way any habitat is - by protecting territory. This path moves through three protections: the undivided hour, the silence before understanding, and the walk that refuses to arrive.
Read one essay at the start of the week and live with it for two days before the next. The essays are short; the living-with is the course.
