N2 - In today's workplaces, digital distractions and frequent task-switching significantly impact productivity and well-being. With the integration of AI tools and Large Language Models (LLMs), we face new challenges in managing attention between human cognition and AI-assisted workflows. This workshop will explore the dual nature of AI tools, examining their potential to enhance productivity and mitigate the risks of "metacognitive laziness"and digital distraction. Through collaborative design activities and discussions, participants will examine strategies for developing attention management that support mindful task-switching between human and AI-driven work. We will focus on designing workplaces that leverage AI capabilities while preserving deep work and cognitive well-being. The workshop aims to generate practical insights for creating sustainable work practices in an AI-augmented workplace.
