What if your biggest productivity problem isn't how you manage your time — but how you manage your attention?

In this episode of the Alpha Renaissance, Taq sits down with Maura Nevel Thomas — ranked in the Top 10 Time Management Professionals in the World and one of the leading voices on attention management — for a conversation that will completely reframe how you think about focus, distraction, and what it means to actually live your life.

Maura breaks down why the phrase "time management" is outdated, why trillions of dollars are being spent to steal your attention, and what it's really costing you — in your work, your relationships, and your identity.

In this episode:

• Why you can be busy all day and feel like you got nothing done
• The attention economy explained — and why your phone is designed to own you
• The iPhone moment in 2007 that changed productivity forever
• What the world's leading ADHD psychiatrist says about modern distraction
• The Starbucks story that made Maura rethink everything
• The real difference between reactive and proactive time
• Why notifications are the #1 enemy of deep work
• What we lose when we fill every in-between moment with scrolling
• How to raise kids in a world designed to commoditize their attention
