找出讓你分心的原因來减少分心

壓力和注意力分散會形成一個危險的迴圈。當我們不能集中精力工作時，我們常常感到壓力不高，這會使我們集中精力更少。

你可以通過使用自我意識來打破這個迴圈。注意下一次你分心時發生的事情：你對自己所做的事感到厭煩嗎？被電話鈴聲拉走？同時，注意你的感受：你是否焦慮，因為你記不住一個重要的細節在一個高風險的演示？你是否感到緊張，因為你正在尋找一個重要的電子郵件的正確的單詞？

你對這些問題的回答將有助於你找出你分心的根源。在你採取措施來減輕壓力之前，你必須瞭解問題的根本原因。

Reduce Distractions by Figuring Out What’s Causing Them

Stress and distraction can form a dangerous cycle. When we can’t focus at work, we often feel stressed about not being productive — which causes us to focus even less.

You can break this cycle by using self-awareness. Pay attention to what’s going on the next time you get distracted: Are you bored by what you’re doing? Pulled away by a ringing phone? Also, notice how you feel: Are you anxious because you can’t remember an important detail during a high-stakes presentation? Do you feel tense because you’re trying to find just the right words for an important email?

Your answers to these questions will help you pinpoint the source of your distractions. Before you can take steps to reduce your stress, you have to understand the underlying cause of the problems.
