READ LESS—AND DEEPER
阅读,求精不求多
Stop trying to know everything about everything and be more selective in the information you’re taking in. Instead of skimming dozens of stories each morning, choose a handful on which you can truly focus and you’ll retain more, Chapman says.
查普曼说,不要试图了解所有事情的全部细节,要更有选择性地掌握你所收集到的信息。比起每天早晨走马观花似的读几十个故事,选择一小部分你真正关注的,这样记住的更多。
“The more information we download or take in, the more shallow our thinking is, and the more fragmented our brain systems are,” she says. “it’s counterintuitive because we think that if I could just take in 20 things and quickly absorb them, I would be smarter, and the science has shown that the smartest leaders are those who know from the get go to literally block out some information.”
她说,“我们下载或接收的信息越多,我们的思维就越浅薄,而我们的大脑系统就越碎片化”。“这是违反直觉的,因为我们自认为,如果我能够接收20件事情并快速学会它们,我会变得更聪明,而科学表明,最聪明的领导人深知习得的东西确实会阻碍一些信息的进入。”
So, while our focus on getting more done through multitasking, skimming, and moving on to the next thing as quickly as possible seems effective, Chapman says the key to truly developing the sharp focus necessary to get things done requires working at a deeper level. “We keep loading ourselves down so we’re mentally exhausted all the time. Our battery is too worn down to really engage in deeper-level thinking and be more efficient,” Chapman says. Cognitive improvement is possible when we slow down, stop letting technology interrupt us repeatedly, and practice focusing on the task or information with which we’re engaged, she says.
