Johann Hari
“Focus, damn you. I thought back to this moment when, over a year later, I interviewed Professor Gloria Mark, who has spent years studying the science of interruptions. She explained to me that if you have spent long enough being interrupted in your daily life, you will start to interrupt yourself even when you are set free from all these external interruptions.”
Johann Hari, Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attention

Jacqueline Novogratz
“Strategically, as my friend and founding Acumen board member Stuart Davidson says, “If you want advice, ask for money. If you want to raise money, ask for advice.” We all yearn to be recognized.”
Jacqueline Novogratz, Manifesto for a Moral Revolution: Practices to Build a Better World

Johann Hari
“worse. The second way switching harms your attention is what we might call the screw-up effect. When you switch between tasks, errors that wouldn’t have happened otherwise start to creep in, because – Earl explained – ‘your brain is error-prone. When you switch from task to task, your brain has to backtrack a little bit and pick up and figure out where it left off’ – and it can’t do that perfectly. Glitches start to occur. ‘Instead of spending critical time really doing deep thinking, your thinking is more superficial, because you’re spending a lot of time correcting errors and backtracking.’ Then”

“Nationalism may begin with ideas among the elite but its propagation involves having mass support. Initially, anti-colonial”
Romila Thapar, On Nationalism

Jacqueline Novogratz
“Moral imagination means to view other people’s problems as if they were your own, and to begin to discern how to tackle those problems. And then to act accordingly. It summons us to understand and transcend the realities of current circumstances and to envision a better future for ourselves and others. Moral imagination starts with empathy, but it does not content itself simply to feel another’s pain. Empathy without action risks reinforcing the status quo. Rather, moral imagination is muscular, built from the bottom up and grounded through immersion in the lives of others. It involves connecting on a human level, analyzing the systemic issues at play, and only then envisioning how to go beyond applying a Band-Aid to making a long-term difference.”
Jacqueline Novogratz, Manifesto for a Moral Revolution: Practices to Build a Better World
