ReThinking · Why a digital detox won’t reset your attention span with Gloria Mark · 9 Jun 2026 podcast

I find your argument persuasive that the structure of most knowledge jobs is not conducive to flow. matched

You may have tasks that are, but your overall role will not necessarily put you in flow four or five hours a day. matched

Right. matched

So what is the ideal attentional state if it's not flow? matched

It's interesting to me that you said thinking more deeply and not also more broadly. matched

So it seems like though from what we've covered, we're not struggling from an intentional breadth perspective as much as we are from a depth perspective. matched

We're getting lots of broad stimuli into our days. matched

Okay. matched

So if the goal is then to improve our capacity for depth or, you know, build the habit of going deeper and maybe focusing longer. matched

Where do we start? matched

One of the things I've discovered when doing that is there's a surprising power of understanding your own chronotype. matched

Yes. matched

And I I know you know a lot about this. matched

My simple aha from digging into the research and also just watching my own patterns was that I was much more focused in the morning than the afternoon. matched

And not surprisingly, I turn out to be a morning person, not a night owl. matched

And so what I tried matched

to do then was shift a lot of my creative and analytical work to the mornings and then say, okay, I'm gonna take meetings in the afternoons and I'll catch up on emails at night. matched

And that cadence has worked pretty well. matched

Seems like it's much harder for somebody who's a night owl to be able to cater to their chronotype. matched

And I wonder if you have any thoughts on that. matched
