不只是工作:8招让你的办公室生活更美好

2012-08-27来源:CNN

Better lighting
照明更佳

Blue-enriched white light could be another boost for weary office employees. Research carried out at the Surrey Sleep Center, part of the University of Surrey in the UK, found that lighting with an added low-intensity blue frequency, instead of just white light illumination, stayed more alert during afternoons and evenings. The blue-enriched white light is thought to be more effective because it targets a photoreceptor in the eye and, it is believed, produces an uplifting effect in mood.
充满蓝色的白色光是对疲惫的办公室职员的另一种激励。由英国萨里大学的萨里睡眠中心进行的研究发现,含有低强度蓝色光的照明比只有白色光的照明在下午和傍晚时分能让人保持更高的警惕性。充满蓝色的白色光被认为效果更好,因为它对准了眼睛里的感光器,被认为会对情绪产生一种振奋的效果。

For employers, better illumination can also lighten the mood: Of 1,000 workers surveyed by Goodman Property, 63% professed loyalty to a company that is well-lit. Architectural Lighting magazine has noted that those who are able to dim overhead lights were more motivated, focused and productive.
对于雇主来说,良好的照明也能放松情绪:在接受古德曼不动产调查的1,000名员工当中,63%的员工声称会忠实于照明条件好的公司。建筑照明杂志注意到,那些能够将头顶的灯调暗的员工更有积极性、更专注、更富有成效。

Focus and limit your use of social media
集中精力,限制使用社交媒体

Are you still paying attention? Well, if not maybe you should, because multitasking simply dilutes attention, decreases the quality of work produced and amount of information learned. Laura Stack, author of "What To Do When There's Too Much To Do" and "Leave the Office Early" suggests putting an end to the cavalcade of distractions at work. Not just better prioritizing tasks, and limiting your social media use, but also stopping external factors, like others holding distracting conversations next to your desk.
你注意力集中吗?如果不是的话,你应该专心致志,因为有多个任务在身就会冲淡你的注意力,降低工作的质量并减少学到的信息量。《事情太多,何处下手》和《及早下班》的作者劳拉·斯塔克建议停止一系列在工作中让你分心的事。不仅是更好地按照优先顺序排列任务,限制使用社交媒体,还要停止外部的因素,比如有人在你桌旁跟你说话而打断你。
