There is no such thing as an attention span. there is only the quality of what you are viewing. this whole idea of an attention span is, i think, a misnomer. people have an infinite attention span if you are entertaining them.

So when somebody asks me to make a decision about a situation, i don't offer a solution, i ask a question: what are our options? give me the good, give me the bad, give me the pretty, give me the ugly, give me the impossible, give me the possible, give me the convenient, give me the inconvenient. give me the options. all i want are options. and once i have all the options before me, then i comfortably and confidently make my decision.

People will make worse financial decisions for them if they're choosing from a lot of options than if they're choosing from a few options. if they have more options they're more likely to avoid stocks and put all their money in money market accounts, which doesn't even grow at the rate of inflation.
