So if I pay attention to paying attention will I get better at paying attention?
Yo dawg...

In short: Yes, you will. This is how to accomplish that goal quickly and efficiently.
In addition to kalla724's comment, I would suggest checking out something called 'the alexander technique." In short, yes if you pay attention to paying attention you can refine that capacity.
I have yet to come across a satisfactory explanation of the Alexander technique. I also can't find any free resources. Almost all advice is just "go and see a practitioner". Would you happen to know of any online resources?
Consider the last paragraph of the text again, then meditate on what mindfulness meditation does along these lines. :)
Do the mindfulness meditation studies differentiate between "paying attention to paying attention" and simply paying attention? I think having ballet or martial arts practice as a control group would be more interesting than having a "let's relax" control group.
