Switching Up Your Style Quotes & Sayings

Deep attention, the cognitive style traditionally associated with the humanities, is characterized by concentrating on a single object for long periods (say, a novel by Dickens), ignoring outside stimuli while so engaged, preferring a single information stream, and having a high tolerance for long focus times.

It's not another way of saying things: these are new things — Yuri Herrera
