Why does the brain focus as soon as you think?

1 week agoEdited to

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัวในการทำงานที่ต้องจ้องหน้าคอมพิวเตอร์นาน ๆ ผมพบว่าการฝืนโฟกัสตลอดเวลานั้นทำให้รู้สึกเหนื่อยล้าทางสมองและลดประสิทธิภาพในการทำงานลงอย่างมาก ข้อมูลในบทความเดียวกับที่วิจัยโดย Nathaniel Kleitman และ Andrew Huberman ช่วยอธิบายถึงเหตุผลที่สมองเราทำงานเป็นรอบ ๆ หรือ Ultradian Rhythms ซึ่งรอบหนึ่งใช้เวลาประมาณ 90-120 นาที หลังจากนั้นสมองจะต้องการพักเพื่อฟื้นฟูพลังงาน ผมจึงลองนำแนวทางนี้มาปรับใช้ โดยแบ่งเวลาทำงานเป็นรอบ ๆ เช่น 60-90 นาที แล้วพักสั้น ๆ 5-15 นาที ในช่วงพักจะลุกขึ้นเดินเล่นหรือทำกิจกรรมที่ไม่เกี่ยวกับงานเลย ทำให้เมื่อกลับมาทำงานใหม่ สมองรู้สึกสดชื่นขึ้นและโฟกัสได้ดี อีกปัญหาหนึ่งที่ผมเผชิญคือการถูกรบกวนจากการแจ้งเตือนทั้ง LINE และอีเมล ซึ่งงานวิจัยของ Gloria Mark จาก University of California, Irvine ได้กล่าวไว้ว่าการโดนแจ้งเตือนแต่ละครั้งจะทำให้สมองใช้เวลาถึง 23 นาทีในการกลับมามีสมาธิกับงานเดิม ทำให้เสียเวลามากกว่าที่คิด ดังนั้นการปิดการแจ้งเตือนที่ไม่จำเป็น และการโฟกัสที่ละงาน (single-tasking) เป็นสิ่งที่ผมให้ความสำคัญมากขึ้น เพราะช่วยให้ลดการขัดจังหวะและยืดช่วงเวลาที่สมองสามารถโฟกัสได้จริง ๆ โดยสรุปแล้ว สมองคนเราไม่ได้ถูกออกแบบมาให้โฟกัสได้ต่อเนื่องนาน ๆ แต่ทำงานเป็นรอบ ๆ การแบ่งเวลาทำงานและพักอย่างเหมาะสมพร้อมจัดการสิ่งรบกวนรอบตัวจะช่วยให้การทำงานมีประสิทธิภาพและยั่งยืนมากขึ้น เป็นเทคนิคง่าย ๆ ที่ผมแนะนำให้ลองปรับใช้ดูครับ
