集中注意力的秘诀

 

Just Be Active

 

保持活跃

 

There are also studies that show any amount of physical activity can improve concentration. Simply walking for twenty minutes before reading a book may boost your ability to pay attention longer. This maybe a result of relaxing your brain in preparation for the task at hand.

 

也有研究表明肢体上的任何活动都会改善你的注意力。仅仅是阅读前步行20分钟也有可能让你的注意力集中更长时间。这个结果可能是因为大脑得到放松能为手边的任务做准备。

 

Practice Paying Attention

 

练习保持注意力

 

With practice, you can teach your mind a little discipline. One thing you should try to determine is what is really distracting you. Pick a passage to read that you normally would not read （unless forced）. It could be anything from apolitical report or an instruction manual. Start the stopwatch and begin reading. Try to concentrate, but stop yourself as soon as you feel your mind beginning to wander.Write down what it was that distracted you. Do this five times and analyze the results. Do you see a pattern？

 

通过练习，你可能让你的头脑学会“纪律”。你应该判断出到底是什么使你分神。找一篇你平常只有被强迫时才会看的文章，可以是政治报告、指导手册或者任何东西。按下秒表，开始阅读。试着集中注意力，一旦感到自己开始神游，立刻停止阅读，写下到底是什么使你分神。这样反复5次并分析结果。你是不是已经看出什么端倪了？
