Improved Focus and Concentration

提高注意力和集中力

In our internet-crazed world, attention is drawn in a million different directions at once as we multi-task through every day. In a single 5-minute span, the average person will divide their time between working on a task, checking email, chatting with a couple of people (via gchat, skype, etc.), keeping an eye on twitter, monitoring their smartphone, and interacting with co-workers. This type of ADD-like behaviour causes stress levels to rise, and lowers our productivity.

在这个网络时代,每天纷杂的任务让我们的注意力会被无数的事物所吸引。在短短的5分钟时段里,一个人要把它划分为完成任务、查看邮件、和一群人聊天(gchat, skype等等)、刷推特、设置手机、和同事交流等。这种叠加的行为模式提高了压力水平,减少了我们的效率。

When you read a book, all of your attention is focused on the story—the rest of the world just falls away, and you can immerse yourself in every fine detail you’re absorbing. Try reading for 15-20 minutes before work (i.e. on your morning commute, if you take public transit), and you’ll be surprised at how much more focused you are once you get to the office.

看书的时候,所有的注意力都集中在故事上——周围的一切似乎都不存在了,你可以尽情的沉浸在任一细节里。试着在工作前阅读15-20分钟(如果你乘公共交通,那就在早班车上),然后你就会发现进办公室那一刹那会注意力更加集中。
