In a world of constant distractions, it's easy to lose focus, but we can train our attention spans by dedicating ourselves to something for a short period of time.
For this exercise, we ask you to observe a single painting for 10 minutes without interruption, inspired by an art history assignment given to Harvard students.
While you may find the task challenging, the experience can highlight the value of sustained attention and reveal hidden details in the art.
By taking a moment to truly focus, we can appreciate the subtleties that are easy to miss in our fast-paced world.
