Are you having a hard time staying focused(专注的)on work? Some simple skills can make a big difference.
Take care of your physical needs.
The most basic one for focusing is to take good care of yourself. This means getting regular(定期的)exercise. Beyond that, make sure you’re getting good nutrition(营养)which supports your brain’s work. Most of all, get plenty of sleep. When you’re tired, it’s much harder to focus on anything.
Plan for your “absent - minded behaviours”.
You may try to do something to reduce the stress coming from a task. These things, like mindless snacking, checking emails, checking phone texts, or suddenly getting very sleepy, may also make you absent - minded. So, if you want to get focused, plan for these behaviours.
If you are likely to get sleepy, try moving to a standing desk for a while. Prepare a healthy snack by your desk. If you can’t help reading emails or checking your mobile phone, turn off the notices which are flashing and reminding you all the time.
Plan regular breaks.
One popular way is the Pomodoro Technique, which calls for 25 minutes of focused work followed by a 5 - minute break, with at least a 15 - minute break every two hours. Recently, a new experiment(实验)shows that it is best for you to take a 17 - minute break after working for 52 minutes.
Accept yourself for losing focus.
It is true that you won’t always meet your own expectations of focus. Getting angry or sad about it will only make things worse. Instead, praise yourself for whatever work you manage to get done. And being happier may help you succeed.

### 四、阅读理解
你在专注工作方面有困难吗？一些简单的技巧会有很大的作用。
#### 照顾好你的身体需求。
专注最基本的一点是照顾好自己。这意味着要进行定期锻炼。除此之外，要确保你获得良好的营养，这有助于大脑的工作。最重要的是，要有充足的睡眠。当你疲惫时，专注于任何事情都会困难得多。
#### 为你的“走神行为”做计划。
你可能会试图做一些事情来减轻来自一项任务的压力。这些事情，比如无意识地吃零食、查看电子邮件、查看手机短信，或者突然变得非常困倦，也可能会让你走神。所以，如果你想要集中注意力，就要为这些行为做计划。
如果你可能会困倦，试着在站立式办公桌前工作一会儿。在你的办公桌旁准备一份健康的零食。如果你忍不住要查看电子邮件或手机，就关闭那些一直闪烁并提醒你的通知。
#### 计划定期休息。
一种流行的方法是番茄工作法，它要求专注工作25分钟，然后休息5分钟，每两小时至少休息15分钟。最近，一项新的实验表明，工作52分钟后休息17分钟对你来说是最好的。
#### 接受自己走神的情况。
事实上，你不会总是达到自己对专注的期望。为此生气或难过只会让事情变得更糟。相反，为你设法完成的任何工作表扬自己。更快乐可能会帮助你成功。
