"Age Quod Agis" is a Latin phrase that translates to:
"Do what you are doing."
🧠 Meaning:
It’s a reminder to be fully present and focused on the task at hand—a kind of ancient antidote to attention residue and modern-day multitasking.
💬 In essence, it says:
-
Don’t split your focus.
-
Don’t rush to the next thing.
-
Put your whole self into what you’re doing right now.
🔁 Connects beautifully with:
-
Mindfulness
-
Deep work (Cal Newport)
-
Flow state (Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi)
-
And what you just brought up—attention residue
It’s been used as a motto by schools, military units, and leaders to encourage discipline, presence, and excellence in execution.
