In general, having a
short attention span is not a great thing.
Sustained focus comes in handy for all kinds of serious, deep work. However, that short attention span has one
really useful feature: it helps us move.
I am not suggesting that
we jump up from whatever we are doing every five minutes. Every half an hour to an hour, though, a
pause to stand up, stretch, go to the bathroom, take a quick lap around the
office/house/block can give our brains and bodies a moment to refresh. When we don’t move often enough, we lose range
of motion and flexibility. Things that
hurt feel worse. Things that didn’t hurt
before start to get in on the act.
Try it and see how it
works.
