Why Deep Reading Matters: How to Save Our Thinking from the Skim-Scrolling Apocalypse

Do you feel like your attention span is shrinking? You're not alone. Our reliance on bite-sized content is eroding critical thinking skills, and it has major consequences.

Key Takeaways

• Critical thinking is the immune system of our minds. It protects us from misinformation and helps us make sound decisions in all areas of life.

• Deep reading is a workout for the brain. It strengthens our focus, analysis, and ability to understand complex ideas.

• We're losing the ability to have thoughtful conversations. Without critical thinking, discussions devolve into shouting matches and tribalism.

• Democracy depends on an informed citizenry. If we can't analyze information, how can we make informed votes or hold our leaders accountable?

So, what can we do?

• Read diversely and challenge yourself. Go beyond social media feeds and pick up a book (or a long article!).

• Slow down and focus. Resist the urge to skim. Take the time to digest information and understand different perspectives.

• Demand quality information. Support real journalism and avoid sensationalized clickbait.

• Education reform is needed. Schools should prioritize critical thinking skills, not just memorization.

Why this matters: The future of our society depends on our ability to think critically. Let's reclaim our attention spans and become active participants in the world, not passive consumers of information.

Level Up Your Personal Brand: Stay Ahead of the Curve in Your Career

Is your professional image stuck in the past? Here's how to refresh your personal brand and ensure you're attracting the opportunities you deserve:

• Know your destination. Define your career goals and what kind of reputation you want to build. Imagine how colleagues and future employers would describe you ideally.

• Bridge the gap. Identify any disconnect between how you see yourself and how others perceive you. Talk to trusted colleagues and use online tools to gauge your current brand image.

• Show, don't tell. Don't just claim new skills - demonstrate them! Volunteer for projects that showcase your expanded skillset and actively participate in meetings to display your expertise.

• Patience is key. Building a strong brand takes time. Don't get discouraged if recognition doesn't happen overnight. Be persistent in showcasing your value, and understand that your network (and even family!) may need time to adjust to your evolving professional identity.

Why this matters: The workplace is constantly changing, and millennials who want to stay competitive need to make sure their personal brand reflects their current skills and aspirations. This article provides actionable steps to ensure you're being seen in the best light and attracting the right opportunities.
