工作時(shí)如何集中注意力
by Glen Stansberry of LifeDev (feed).
Focus is something of a novelty these days. We’ve got cellphones for texting and calls, IM, Twitter, Email, RSS feeds, Facebook, Myspace… the list goes on and on. If you don’t have ADD before you start working online, it seems it’s almost inevitable thanks to these inputs. If you’re a web worker who uses the Internet for the majority of the day, you’re especially at risk for losing focus.
注意力如今成了新鮮物。我們有手機(jī)來(lái)發(fā)短信、打電話，即時(shí)聊天工具，博客，電子郵件，RSS訂閱，F(xiàn)acebook，Myspace……不勝枚舉。如果上網(wǎng)工作前你沒(méi)有注意力缺陷障礙(attention deficit disorder)，那么因?yàn)樯厦婺切〇|西，你也將會(huì)不可避免地患上這種病癥。如果你是一位一天大部分時(shí)間都使用互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的網(wǎng)絡(luò)工作者，那么注意力不集中的可能性更大。
Focus is something that must be fought for. It’s not something that automatically switches on when you want to. You have to make sure your surroundings are perfect for working if you want to be focused. Here’s a few ways I’ve found this to work:
注意力是需要爭(zhēng)取的，它不會(huì)在你想要的時(shí)候自動(dòng)開(kāi)啟。如果你想讓注意力集中，那么就必須讓自己所處的環(huán)境最適合工作。下面是我發(fā)現(xiàn)的一些有幫助的方法：
1. Use offline tools. 使用非網(wǎng)絡(luò)工具。Paper products, pens, and other physical tools are a Godsend for those of us who have a hard time focusing throughout the work day. They’re so simple that we can use them quickly, without having to worry about becoming distracted.
紙質(zhì)品、筆和其它有實(shí)體的工具對(duì)工作中集中注意力困難的人們來(lái)說(shuō)簡(jiǎn)直是上天賜與的禮物。由于它們非常簡(jiǎn)單，我們迅速就能掌握，所以不必?fù)?dān)心會(huì)導(dǎo)致分心。
2. Take more breaks. 多休息。More breaks = More productivity. It may sound wrong, but it’s true. Breaks allow us to re-group our thoughts and focus for the task at hand. They also keep us fresh so that we don’t end up burning out after only a few hours work.
更多休息=更多生產(chǎn)力。聽(tīng)上去不是那樣，可其實(shí)是對(duì)的。休息能讓我們對(duì)手邊的工作重新集中思想、注意力;還能讓我們保持頭腦清晰，從而不會(huì)只工作了幾小時(shí)后就出現(xiàn)精力枯竭。
3. Smaller tasks to check off. 先完成小任務(wù)。When you’re planning your day, make sure that your “action steps” (aka items in the checklist) are small actions. Instead of “Paint living room”, try breaking it down into many tasks, like “buy paint, buy rollers, pick colors” etc.
在計(jì)劃一天的工作時(shí)，讓你的“工作步驟”(也就是清單上的項(xiàng)目)成為一個(gè)個(gè)小的行動(dòng)。不要寫(xiě)“給客廳刷漆”，試著將它分解為許多小任務(wù)，例如“買(mǎi)油漆，買(mǎi)滾筒刷，挑選顏色”等等。
4. Keep a steady pace. 保持一定節(jié)奏。Don’t try to do too much. Keeping the pace manageable allows you to keep your focus. Unfortunately, people can confuse this with “Work till you drop without breaks”. See number 2.
不要嘗試一次做太多。將節(jié)奏控制在可操作的范圍內(nèi)可以讓你集中注意力。不幸地是人們會(huì)將這條原則等同于“沒(méi)有休息地一直工作到死”。請(qǐng)見(jiàn)第二條。(昨日文章)
5. Keep a daily “purpose” card. 每天做 “目的”卡片。It’s pretty easy to get lost staring at the computer all day long. We’ll find rabbit holes to wonder down (ie. Youtube, Myspace, etc.) if we’re not careful. Having your daily purpose card gives you clarity and a reminder as to what you’re doing today.
人們很容易茫然地盯著屏幕就是一整天。不小心的.話就會(huì)進(jìn)入一個(gè)個(gè)神奇世界(例如Youtube，Myspace等等)。有了當(dāng)天的“目的”卡片，你就能清楚自己的任務(wù)，卡片可以隨時(shí)提醒你。
6. Develop the mindset that the computer is only a tool. 養(yǎng)成“計(jì)算機(jī)只是工具”的心態(tài)。It’s easy to try and use the computer for too much. At its core, the computer is merely a tool (albeit a freakin’ awesome one) that allows to do work more efficiently. If we’re using it as something more than that, (like as a solution for your life), you’ll ultimately fail. It’s like trying to eat a steak dinner with only a spoon.
人們很容易用電腦過(guò)度。從本質(zhì)上說(shuō)，計(jì)算機(jī)只是一個(gè)工具而已(盡管強(qiáng)大地驚人)。它讓人們更有效地工作。如果你不只把它做為一個(gè)工具來(lái)使用，(例如把它作為生活的答案)，那么最終你會(huì)失敗，就好像只用一個(gè)勺子來(lái)吃一頓牛排晚餐。
7. Plan your day to the T. 計(jì)劃到細(xì)節(jié)。 If you’re finding sporadic periods of laziness throughout the day, it could be because you don’t take enough breaks (see #2), and you don’t have the day mapped out as efficiently as you could. Make sure your list of todos has lots of small, actionable steps that can be done quickly. This will gives a really satisfying feeling when you’re crossing things off your list like crazy.
如果一天中你會(huì)不定時(shí)出現(xiàn)犯懶的時(shí)刻，那也許是因?yàn)槟銢](méi)有獲得足夠的休息(見(jiàn)第二條);而且你也沒(méi)有最有效地安排時(shí)間。保證你的待辦辦事務(wù)清單由許多小而易行、能迅速完成的步驟組成。瘋狂地勾去清單上的事務(wù)會(huì)給你帶來(lái)真正的滿足感。
8. Notice your lazy routines. 注意懶惰規(guī)律。Everyone has recurring lazy spots throughout the day. Plan to have your breaks for those times. You’re going to be lazy then anyway, right?
每個(gè)人在一天中都會(huì)有反復(fù)出現(xiàn)的懶惰時(shí)刻。安排在這些時(shí)侯休息。反正到時(shí)也會(huì)犯懶，對(duì)嗎?
9. Plan the night before. 提前一天計(jì)劃。Planning the night before is a great way to really get focused on the next day. “Sleeping” on your tasks and goals for the following day can really help your mind expect what’s going to happen the next day. Essentially, you’re preparing your mind for the following day. Advanced focus.
提前一天計(jì)劃是在第二天切實(shí)保持注意力的極好方法。帶著第二天的任務(wù)和目標(biāo)“入睡”幫助頭腦預(yù)計(jì)第二天要發(fā)生什么很有幫助。其實(shí)，就是為第二天做好心理上的準(zhǔn)備。提前集中注意力。
