You Will Never Accomplish Anything If You Keep On Working.

Britons and Americans have long suspected whether people in France and other countries are hanging around all day when they work hard.

The British and Americans have always been proud of this.

According to a survey conducted by Gallup in May, most American workers believe that

Frequent exchanges are positive.

In the era of wireless communications, pure "downtime" does not exist, and people think they are happier and more efficient.

But is it true? After studying thousands of books, articles and papers on this topic, I interviewed a lot of experts, such as neurophysiology, psychology, even education and literature, and I think that is not the case.

At the same time, please do not neglect all kinds of entertainment in our working environment. When we are busy finishing the most important tasks, these entertainment will distract our energy.

Facebook and twitter statistics found that the busiest time on their website was working hours.

After all, those employees who were asked to respond to the boss's call on Sunday morning did not think there was anything wrong with chatting with their friends on Wednesday afternoon.

Research shows that the cost of distraction caused by chatting is huge.

Not only do employees need to take time to reply to twitter, but also needs more time.

And energy to "re-enter" work.

As Douglas Gentle, a professor at Iowa State University, has explained in his research on the influence of media on attention, "everyone who thinks he is good at multi tasking is wrong. We just switch between multiple tasks and bring additional burden to ourselves."

Every shift in the focus of attention will delay the work of the brain, and it will create a continuous burden on the brain. Eventually, a busy employee will not be able to maintain the constant bursts of creativity.

Constant contact means that we have been working, but it means that we have never worked hard.

People and organizations need to look for new ideas that are full of courage or those that are obviously critical. They should realize that in some cases, disconnecting is more beneficial than keeping in touch.

You can't ask a jogger who can only run six miles to take part in the sprint race. Similarly, how can you ask the staff who are answering the phone all morning to give the most insightful content in the later meeting?

Some employees really need to rely on frequent and real-time communication.

But other employees' work needs to be saved from the storm of electronic information.

Batch processing of e-mail is a simple solution.

Spend a small amount of time each day dealing with e-mail, saving other time for practical work.

Most colleagues and customers will not die because they haven't been answered in three hours. If there is an emergency, they can call you.

Melvin Kranzberg, a great historian of science and technology, said that science and technology have no distinction between good and evil, but they are not neutral.

In the information age, this discussion should really take a place.

I am not advocating the strict rule of asceticism, just like the 18 e-mail ban after the imagination.

In a word, I think we worship too much and communicate with each other through electronic means.

We can not always be busy with the work or entertainment in the external environment. We must take the initiative to decide at different times to maintain a different distance from technology so as to maximize our efficiency and achieve maximum success and happiness.
