I don't know about you but I think I might be addicted to Instagram. In between tasks, I find myself reaching out for the phone to scroll aimlessly. Here are some tips to increase your attention span.
Dr. Peter Attia, the Medical Doctor who amplified his reach (by breaking out of the usual mould) If you've recently heard of the word, "health span" mixed in with longevity talk, it's thanks to Dr. Peter Attia. The Oxford Dictionary defines HEALTH SPAN as the part of a person’s life during which they are generally in good health.

Today, in addition to Doctor, you can call him a podcaster, author and entrepreneur.
