Why are there not 38 hours in a day, but only 24?!! An eternal question that worries people who have a lot of tasks, ideas, and at the same time a constant lack of time.
Of course, we are not magicians and we cannot give you an extra couple of hours, but we can share tips that will help you become super-workers who manage everything and everywhere.
And again, scientists from American universities delight us with their useful discoveries. This time, scientific research was conducted at Florida State University. As a result of the experiment, scientists have revealed the relationship between distracted attention and low blood glucose levels. Which means a banal thing: you can't concentrate on work and waste time on little things — eat something sweet containing real sugar. Lemonade is also quite suitable. Our parents and grandmothers were right when they advised us to eat a chocolate bar or drink sweet strong tea before important exams.
Another way to keep yourself in good shape is banal exercises. They also help to regain lost concentration at work. Henrietta van Praag of the National Institutes of Health has written a whole treatise on this topic. It states that exercise is one of the strongest stimuli for restoring and creating neural connections in the brain.
Several studies show that one of the ways to "stay connected" is meditation. It helps to stay focused on the work process and control your emotions. This means that by practicing meditation, you will eventually learn to get rid of negative emotions such as anger, depression, anxiety and stress. Just 20 minutes of such classes a day and you are calm and reasonable. And it really helps to stay productive.
In a study conducted at the University of Michigan, it turned out that live plants in offices and paintings depicting nature also help employees stay in good shape. During these studies, students were asked to memorize a certain number of digits, and then name them in reverse order. Half of them were sent for a walk along a city street full of hurrying people and cars, while the second part of the group was sent to the garden.
The results of those who walked in the garden exceeded the figures of those walking on the street by 20%. That is, walking in a calm and green place helps the brain recover, calms down and returns lost concentration.
Therefore, eat chocolates, periodically warm up, walking in a green garden or a square and, of course, meditate. This helps not only to concentrate on work and be more productive, but also will save your life from such destructive emotions as anger, irritation and stress.
