职场英语：如何在开放式办公区里高效工作

The best sounds for concentration are natural and unpredictable. Ambient electronic music tends to work well at blocking out noise yet it doesn’t create a distraction. Try binaural beats in stereo headphones. Neurophysiologists believe these sounds can induce the brain into a deep state of concentration, creativity and relaxation.

最利于专注的声音是那种自然且不可预知的声音。电子环境音乐阻隔噪音的效果就不错，也不会让人分心。也可以试试用立体声耳机聆听双耳节拍。神经生理学家认为这些声音能引导大脑进入深度专注、有创造力且放松的状态。

Have a “Collaboration Table” delegated

分出一张“团队讨论桌”

The key to keeping employees happy and productive is having a mix of spaces for different activities. According to a new study by design firm Gensler, it was found that workers spend more than half their time at work in deep focus and about one-fourth in collaboration, with the rest split between learning, socializing and other tasks.

让员工既开心又高产的关键在于有不同的空间来做不同的事。建筑设计公司根斯勒的一项新研究发现，员工工作时有超过一半的时间处在深度专注状态，大约四分之一的时间在合作，剩下的时间则分配给学习、社交和其他工作。

Of course, people who work in an office still spend most of the day at their desks, but when it’s time to do some hard-core collaborating or learning, moving to a different environment can help shift gears. Delegate a larger central “community” table where conversation and ideas can flow freely. And encourage an environment of mindful chatter amongst neighboring desks.
