Where did our attention spans go, and can we get them back?

  • Résumé

  • The Oxford English Dictionary announced its word of the year at the end of 2024: brain rot.

She tells Madeleine Finlay why she believes our powers of concentration are not beyond rescue, and reveals her top tips for finding focus.
