<p>Over the last two decades, the average human attention span dropped from two and a half minutes to forty seconds.</p><p>That reality is reshaping how collectors think, buy, and build.</p><p><br>In this flagship episode of Stacking Slabs, Brett examines how shrinking attention impacts collecting decisions, long term satisfaction, and the ability to stay focused in a hobby that never stops moving.</p><p><br>The episode explores shiny object syndrome, abandoned collecting lanes, and the constant pressure created by product drops, social feeds, auctions, and hobby content.</p><p><br>It also outlines practical ways collectors can take control of their attention. Clarifying priorities. Filtering noise. Creating space to collect with intention.</p><p>This episode is about protecting focus so a collection reflects personal values rather than momentary hype.</p><p><br>Check out the awesome software that <a href="https://infernored.com/">InfernoRed Technology</a> can build for you.</p><p>Get your free copy of <a href="https://subscribepage.io/CollectingForKeeps">Collecting For Keeps: Finding Meaning In A Hobby Built On Hype</a></p><p>Start your <a href="https://patreon.com/StackingSlabs?utm_medium=unknown&amp;utm_source=join_link&amp;utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&amp;utm_content=copyLink">7 day free trial of Stacking Slabs Patreon Today</a></p><p>[<strong>Distributed on Sunday</strong>] Sign up for the Stacking Slabs Weekly Rip Newsletter using this <a href="https://stackingslabs.substack.com/p/coming-soon?r=hjr6d&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web&amp;utm_source=copy">link</a></p><p>Follow Stacking Slabs: | <a href="https://twitter.com/stackingslabs">Twitter </a>| <a href="https://www.instagram.com/stackingslabs">Instagram </a>| <a href="https://www.facebook.com/StackingSlabs/">Facebook</a> | <a href="https://vm.tiktok.com/cvNbNG/">Tiktok</a></p> <strong> <a href="https://www.patreon.com/c/StackingSlabs" rel="payment" title="★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★">★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★</a> </strong>
