Somewhere in the last twenty years, the most brilliant minds of a generation — engineers, psychologists, behavioural scientists — were hired to solve one problem: how do we capture, hold, and monetise human attention? And they succeeded beyond anyone's imagination. The notification. The infinite scroll. The red badge on the app icon. The "someone is typing" indicator that holds you hostage to a message that hasn't even been sent yet.

They built an economy. And the raw material of that economy... is you.

In this episode of the Stoic Edge for Managers, we examine how our attention is hijacked every single day, and how by acknowledging and accepting this, we can focus our attention on exactly where it is needed - The examined life and working practices.

In this episode of the Stoic Edge for Managers, we're going to answer that question. And the answer comes from a concept written by candlelight, in a military tent, on the frozen frontier of the Roman Empire — nearly two thousand years before the first line of code was ever written.
