Human beings are, for the most part, in a safe environment. For example, we don't scan the sky for predators that might swoop in from a tree top. Our attention is freed up from survival and with some discipline we can decide what to do with it. We can spend our attention. Our attention basically builds our future life.
Unfortunately, it's really easy to steal attention. Politics and media personalities are adept at it. It's impossible to ignore their antics all the time, but if you can keep the thieves out of your mind most of the time, you'll be able to chart your own course, and set your own priorities.
