The Optimalist podcast seeks to bring you conversations about mindfulness, attention, focus, and getting beyond the need to feel engaged every second in order to be happy and motivated. Life gets more distracting each day, with our physical and digital lives coming together in ways that diminish our ability to pay attention. Now, AI is becoming part of your everyday life - offering new potential but also new demands on your attention. We believe that to flourish, we need to retain the ability to focus. To embrace challenges. To do the deep work. Investing in your ability to focus is the foundation. We hope this podcast helps connect more and more educators to the importance of this effort towards prioritizing better attention and mindful living- in school, work, and at home.
