对症下药：最常见的3大效率谎言如何破解

Multitasking can trick you into feeling like you’re a productivity superhero. After all, if you have the skills to simultaneously compile a budget, listen to a podcast, and catch up on your email, you must be running circles around your single-tasking co-workers, right?
一心多用很容易会令你错以为你是个效率极高的超级英雄。毕竟，要是你可以同时编预算、听播客、看邮件，你不就比那些一次只能做一件事的同事要厉害很多？

Actually, multitasking can make you perform worse in whatever you’re doing. Studies show that when you try to focus on too many things at the same time, you’re less likely to be able to filter out irrelevant facts, switch between tasks effectively, and remember important information.
事实上，一心多用会让你不论做什么都做得更差。研究表明，当你试着同时关注太多事情的时候，你就更难以过滤那些不相关的事情，更难实现在不同的任务间高效转换，也很难记住那些重要的信息。

Solution: Practice Single Focus
解决方案：练习一心一用

Try focusing on one task at a time. Hear me out: It might feel less productive—or even be less enjoyable—to work on one thing at a time, but extreme focus will bring out your best.
试着一次只做一件任务。听我说一句：一心一用听起来确实会减少效率——甚至会变得没那么有意思，但极致的专注能够激发你全部的潜能。
