Kickoff

[Matthew Trentacoste]

Hello all. I want to thank everyone again for participating in the
Attention Tracking session. I'm still trying to get an understanding
of things and I certainly learned a lot out listening to everyone
else.

The session wandered over a huge number of topics. We didn't end up
having much of a discussion on actually quantifying/tracking
attention, so I'd like to start there. To continue the discussion, I'd
like to pose a few questions to people:

- What aspect of attention tracking interests you most? Number of
distractions? Focus/intensity? Productivity measures? Something else?
- How would measure it? Ideally, both on the computer and off?
- Finally, given I think most people showed up wishing they did a
better job at their respective aspect, what change or experiment would
you propose for making use of your metric.

I'm currently doing a round of job interviews this week, so it'll take
me a day or two still to get up my full review of the session, but the
URL remains the same:

I'll post here when I'm done. If you know anyone else that's
interested, send them this way or advertise the group. I look forward
to hearing what you all have to say.

Thanks again
