A plethora of people and things ask our attention daily, whether it's a cherished friend's text or the 67th advertisement of the day. It can leave you wondering how to divide your attention; but just as much if we receive the attention we need. In this episode, Marc, Selma & Thirza (program makers at NEWConnective) try to get a grip on the topic of attention and discuss questions like:

⇨ What even is attention?⇨ How do we divide our attention?⇨ How does this relate to what people call 'the attention economy'?⇨ How does attention intersect with care, time and consideration?

NEWConnective is an organisation at the Vrije Universiteit, which develops events around life's bigger questions, identity and spirituality. Marc, Selma & Thirza are all part of the NEWConnective team.

Do you want to join the conversation? Then find us during a book club, meditation or dialogue at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. The Connective is a production of NEWConnective and VU Campusradio.

The song you hear come and go during the episode is 'Winter Tropics' by Jacob Montague; we've acquired the necessary music license at MusicBed.
