What Does This Mean?
The steady, often unconscious loss of focus from an intended task as small amounts of attention are continuously diverted toward notifications, open tabs, or a second screen.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"I sat down to write one email and somehow lost twenty minutes to attention leakage across three different apps."
LORE & ORIGIN
Adapted from economics and security terminology where 'leakage' describes value lost from a system through small, continuous outflows, attention-economy writers borrowed the framing around 2022 to describe how modern focus rarely fails all at once — it drains gradually across a dozen tiny diversions.
