It's getting harder to focus every day

# Summary The author describes experiencing a significant decline in focus and concentration over recent years, finding it increasingly difficult to maintain sustained attention on work, programming, or learning—now managing only about an hour of focused time daily compared to previously being able to work on multiple projects simultaneously. They attribute this deterioration to the proliferation of distracting stimuli, including low-quality content on formerly valuable platforms, social media, and their own brain's tendency to avoid challenging or boring tasks by seeking easier alternatives. The author reflects on how attention-hungry apps and content have become increasingly powerful since 2015, making it harder to engage in intentional, mind-exercising activities without constant interruption.
