Where does my attention go on LinkedIn?

Where does my attention go on LinkedIn?
My attention is always moving.

Sometimes it’s pulled outward:
↳ the endless scroll
↳ the curated lives of others
↳ the noise of the crowd baying

Sometimes it turns inward:
↳ into self-consciousness
↳ into overthinking everything
↳ into debilitating self-monitoring

Neither are useful states because when attention is reactive, not intentional, it becomes a kind of drift.

⇥ Not present … elsewhere.
⇥ Not listening … scanning.
⇥ Not reflecting … looping.

This drifting shapes thinking, relationships, sense of self.

Notice where your attention goes.
When you're not directing it.
On LinkedIn social media.

Creators aim to hook us with entertainment, analysis, education, inspiration, promotion.

But deeper than that consumers look for distraction, validation, control, hope, aspiration.

Or perhaps something else?
