计划好的两个小时被消息切成十几段，奖金和考核让本来喜欢的事变得索然无味，难度恰好的任务又让人忘了时间——本书用注意与动机研究考察这三种日常经验背后的机制与证据。依次讨论：波斯纳与彼得森的警觉、定向、执行控制三网络（与去甲肾上腺素、乙酰胆碱、多巴胺系统的对应只是主要调质，不是唯一机制）以及注意网络测验的减法计分（整体变慢不改变分数；1,129 人的汇总数据中警觉与定向分数的分半信度只有 0.38 与 0.55，三个网络并不独立）；工作记忆容量从「7 ± 2」修正为约 4 个组块，认知负荷理论中「相关负荷」的重新定义，以及专家图式如何把 26 个字母压缩进 4 个槽位；任务切换的准备效应与残余代价、注意力残留，约 2.8 秒和 4.4 秒的打断使下一步序列错误率约增至两倍和三倍，并澄清「23 分钟」只是被打断工作的平均恢复时间（同日恢复者平均 25 分 26 秒），「看一眼消息毁掉 15 分钟」没有直接证据；外在奖励的挤出效应只在预期的、取决于参与、完成或表现的有形奖励和有趣任务上成立（128 项实验，d 约 −0.28 至 −0.40），意外奖励无影响，言语正反馈提高内在动机，并用贝叶斯信号模型说明「付钱让我做」为什么会被读成「这件事本身不值得」；自主、胜任、归属三项需要的加性与乘性两种模型（乘性是作者的假设）的不同预测；心流的八通道模型、前额叶功能低下假说的有限证据，以及按 84%–85% 目标正确率调节难度的学习者模型（只是类比；结果熵在 50% 时最大，不在 85%）。
第七章将程颐「所谓敬者，主一之谓敬；所谓一者，无适之谓一」、朱熹「只收敛身心，整齐纯一，不恁地放纵，便是敬」、《荀子·解蔽》「虚壹而静」与《庄子·达生》「用志不分，乃凝于神」与执行控制、注意力残留和心流并读，并明确主敬是道德修养工夫，不是注意力训练法；第八章给出一份四步注意力与动机核查表，以及一项检验「手机在场即耗脑力」假说的预注册随机交叉试验方案（手机静音朝下放在桌上与锁在另一房间对比；唯一主要结局为自动化操作广度测验绝对分，持续注意反应任务为次要结局；两期间隔至少 7 天、使用平行版本；完成两期 160 人、随机化 190 人；判定规则写成代码），并说明原始研究之后的重复研究与元分析结果并不一致。书中以标注框区分已发表的证据、可运行的 Python 计算（16 段程序，全部核对）、原典与作者的假说。本书不是 ADHD、焦虑、抑郁等任何疾病的诊断或治疗建议，不涉及任何药物或剂量。

Abstract
Two planned hours cut into a dozen pieces by messages; bonuses and targets that drain the pleasure from something one used to enjoy; a task of exactly the right difficulty that makes time disappear. This book uses research on attention and motivation to examine the mechanisms and evidence behind these three everyday experiences. It covers Posner and Petersen's three networks of alerting, orienting and executive control (their links to the noradrenergic, cholinergic and dopaminergic systems are principal modulators, not sole mechanisms) and the subtraction scores of the Attention Network Test (uniform slowing leaves the scores unchanged; in pooled data from 1,129 adults the split-half reliabilities of the alerting and orienting scores were only 0.38 and 0.55, and the networks are not independent); working-memory capacity revised from "7 ± 2" to about 4 chunks, the redefinition of "germane" load in cognitive load theory, and how expert schemas compress 26 letters into 4 slots; preparation effects and residual costs in task switching, attention residue, and interruptions of about 2.8 and 4.4 seconds that roughly doubled and tripled sequence errors at the next step, with the clarification that the "23 minutes" is only the average time before interrupted work was resumed (25 min 26 s for same-day resumptions) and that "a glance at a message wrecks 15 minutes" has no direct evidence; crowding out by extrinsic rewards, which holds for expected tangible rewards contingent on engagement, completion or performance and for interesting tasks (128 experiments, d about −0.28 to −0.40), not for unexpected rewards, while positive feedback raises intrinsic motivation, with a Bayesian signalling model of why "being paid to do it" can be read as "it isn't worth doing for its own sake"; the different predictions of additive and multiplicative models of the needs for autonomy, competence and relatedness (the multiplicative form is the author's assumption); and the eight-channel model of flow, the limited evidence for the hypofrontality hypothesis, and a learner model whose difficulty is tuned to 84–85 % accuracy (an analogy only; outcome entropy peaks at 50 %, not at 85 %).
Chapter 7 reads Cheng Yi's "what is called reverence is called holding to one; what is called one is called not going off elsewhere", Zhu Xi's "only gather in body and mind, orderly and unified, not letting oneself go: that is reverence", the *Xunzi*'s "empty, unified and still" and the *Zhuangzi*'s "his will undivided, he was concentrated like a spirit" beside executive control, attention residue and flow, stating clearly that reverence was a discipline of moral cultivation, not a technique of attention training. Chapter 8 offers a four-step attention-and-motivation checklist and a pre-registered randomised crossover trial of the "brain drain" hypothesis (own phone face down and silenced on the desk versus locked in another room; single primary outcome the automated operation span absolute score, with the Sustained Attention to Response Task secondary; periods at least 7 days apart with parallel forms; 160 completers, 190 randomised; decision rule written as code), noting that replications and meta-analyses since the original study disagree. Marked boxes separate published evidence, runnable Python calculations (16 programs, all checked), classical sources and the author's hypotheses. This book is not diagnosis or treatment advice for ADHD, anxiety, depression or any other condition, and deals with no medication or dose.
