Episode 3: Concentrate! | Are You Paying Attention?

Why does it feel almost impossible to focus anymore? We dig into how constant notifications and endless screen time chip away at your attention span, deep reading skills, and ability to be present in your own life—and what that means for students, work, and everyday moments that actually matter. If you’ve ever searched “why can’t I concentrate,” “phone ruining focus,” or “how to improve attention in a digital world,” this episode will hit home. #DigitalDistraction #AttentionSpan CHAPTERS: 00:00 Intro 01:50 Part 1: Distraction 03:20 Part 2: The Multitasking Myth 08:00 Part 3: Communication Skills 12:01 Conclusion WEDU PBS is West Central Florida’s PBS station.
