舌尖上的美國(117):怎樣提高注意力(五)

集中注意力並不是一件很容易的事情，尤其是處在當前這個充滿誘惑和紛擾的世界裏。下面是繼續告訴大家一些有幫助的方法：

14. Visualize the day in the morning, before it starts. 早晨、一天開始前想象下這一天。A little pre-work meditation on the day’s events is a great way to start the day off focused and productive. Don’t worry about a full 30 minute session, a quick review before you start the day is fine.

思考一下當天的事務是讓你集中注意力、開始有成果的一天的好方式。不要擔心自己要去完成完整的30分鐘練習，在頭腦中簡單地過一遍就可以了。

15. Start the day right. 良好的開始。Starting the day with a good breakfast, some quiet time and/or exercise is a great way to set your day up for success. Sounds like a cliche, but it really works.

以一頓營養豐富的早餐、一些安靜的時間，和、或鍛鍊開始新的一天，是開啓成功的一天好方法。聽上去是陳詞濫調，但是卻很有效。

16. Clean yourself up. 打理好自己。It’s why my track coach in high school made us dress up for big races: you perform the way you feel. And if you feel polished, groomed and ready, you’ll be more likely to be productive. For me this is just taking a shower, brushing my teeth and putting on casual clothing. I used to work all day without taking a shower in my PJ’s, but I never got much stuff done. Let’s be honest here… if you’re dressed really casually, odds are you’ll be working really casually. Just taking the time to clean up a bit before you buckle down for the day is never a bad idea.

這是我的高中田徑教練讓我們在大賽時穿着正式的原因：表現取決於感受。如果你感到自己整潔光鮮、準備好了，那麼就更可能取得成效。對我而言，只要洗個澡、刷牙、穿上休閒裝。過去我常常整天穿着睡衣工作，不洗澡，但是卻從沒有完成多少事務。老實說……如果你穿得真的很隨意，可能你的工作態度也會很隨意。在準備苦幹一天之前，花些時間打理一下自己絕對沒錯。
