Practice a focus ritual. Every hour or two, do a refocus ritual. This only takes a minute or two. You might start it by closing down your browser and maybe other open applications, and maybe even take a walk for a couple of minutes to clear your head and get your blood circulating. Then return to your list of Most Important Tasks and figure out what you need to accomplish next. Before you check email again or go back online, work on that important task for as long as you can. Repeat this refocus ritual throughout the day, to bring yourself back. It’s also nice to take some nice deep breaths to focus yourself back on the present. More focus rituals.
12. 練習集中精神
每一到兩個小時,要重新集中精神。這只需花一到兩分鐘。你可以通過關掉瀏覽器或者其他應用程序,或者走幾分鐘來清醒你的大腦并促進血液循環。之后再看看你的“最重要任務”列表,找出下一步要完成的事情。然后在你重要的任務上工作盡量長的時間直到你再次去查收郵件或者上網。每天不斷重復這個注意力訓練來保持清醒。同樣,你可以通過做幾次橫呼吸來重新集中注意。
