如何在三个简单的步骤中保持专注

0

如果你睡眠不足,那么你将难以集中注意力,容易发生事故,缺乏意志力,生产力也会降低。

一、二、三一样简单

刚刚开始…

在任何给定的时刻,有成千上万种不同的事物在争夺我们的注意力。大多数时候,我们自然会屏蔽掉所有这些噪音,专注于我们所关注的事物。

但有时,真的很难集中注意力于我们应该或想要关注的事情上。同样,有时候我们不应该或不想关注某件事,但我们却发现自己极难不去注意它。

我尝试了各种方法来帮助自己集中注意力于我需要的事情上,同时把那些更多是分心而不是必须做的事情放在一边,在这篇文章中,我将分享三种帮助我提高专注力的方法。

精力耗尽

每天都有竞争优先权的事情发生。家庭、工作、学习和个人健康都在争夺我的注意力中心。当我过去忙碌时,我只是按当时更紧急的事情处理!

例如,如果我有一个工作截止日期必须在周五完成,而现在是周四晚上,那么周围的家务就得等到周六再做。但如果我周六还必须去购物,因为橱柜空了,那么购物就比家务优先。

不幸的是,当我在做一件事时,我的脑海里部分会考虑接下来要做什么,这反过来又分散了我当前正在做的事情的注意力,导致我花费的时间比如果我只专注于当前事情要长。

内疚感和竞争性兴趣

有时候,我会发现自己做事敷衍了事,感觉不好,然后急忙去做下一件事。这会让我心情沉重,最终我会停下来什么也不做,或者只是感到非常疲惫,以至于不如不做。

部分问题是因为没有优先考虑需要完成的事项并将它们列出来(无论是在纸上还是电子方式),我每天给自己增加了不必要的压力,然后想知道为什么我没有感到尽可能的生产力。

另一部分问题是因为感到疲倦。很多时候,我发现当我感到最没精神时,我会比平时更倾向于拖延任务的开始。我花在延迟开始上的所有时间会让我感到内疚,这最终会让我感到更累,这让我开始变得更加困难。

克服

由于我是如此的固执,我被迫进行了一些微妙的改变,才意识到不需要太多努力我就能感觉更好,思考更清晰,更加专注!

如果我早点听从建议,就不会感觉到。我的专注力问题不仅仅是专注问题,而是我的身体发出的一个警告,提示我改变我的做事方式。

我必须采取的相对简单的步骤来让我的专注力回到正轨:

  • Consistently have 7-9 hours of quality sleep.
    Sleep is a basic human need. As you know we need it to function “normally”. The problem is that we can undervalue just how much we need a good nights sleep; especially whilst studying or working. For many, (including myself), it becomes one of the first things that we sacrifice in order to reach our objectives.

Nicole Bieske,澳大利亚大赦国际的发言人,这样表达她组织的观点:“至少,睡眠剥夺是残酷的、不人道的和有辱人格的。如果用于长时间,它就是一种折磨。”

那么为什么要这样对待自己呢?对自己好一点,多休息一下。我做到了,我相信这是改善我的专注力的一个重要因素。

  • Enjoy a healthy lifestyle
    Eating healthly, moderate exercise and reducing your stress are all helpful ways to improve your focus. How? Directly and indirectly by helping you to sleep better and by making your body more resilient. For example just a 20 minute walk can aid with improving your sleep quality, whilst at the same time improving your blood circulation, which also aids concentration and keeping you alert.
  • 当你感到疲倦时休息一下

I know when I am getting sleepy
MYTH.
People are very poor judges of how tired they are. As a result, they often drive when they are drowsy, and struggle through the day not realizing that they are far from their best.

Wiseman, Richard. Night School: Wake up to the power of sleep (pp. 294-295). Pan Macmillan.

Be aware and look out for the classic signs of tiredness – lack of motivation, tiredness, difficulty concentrating. The difficulty here is being aware of these tell tale signs. Thankfully our Apple Watch app, V-CAF Stay Awake Stay Alert, notifies you at the times when your alertness levels are decreasing, so that you can concentrate on getting on with the task at hand. Since using the app I’ve found it invaluable in helping me to know when I’m not focussing at my best. When the alarm goes off, I take that as a cue to have a break (usually, I take napping breaks, or go for a walk), after which I feel more energised and ready to continue from where I left off.

总结

你缺乏专注力可能是因为疲倦和/或过度工作而没有意识到。这是你的身体发送给你的许多警告信号之一,提醒你改变你正在做的事情。

注意你获得了多少睡眠,是否有足够的规律运动和健康饮食。

还要记得在感到过度疲倦时定期休息。

“如果你睡眠不足,那么你将难以集中注意力,变得容易出事故,缺乏意志力,变得不那么生产力。更糟的是,你 将增加变胖、心脏病发作和早死的风险。”
