2014快到了！实用10招让你明年更专注

You may feel that multitasking is a skill because you can accomplish more things at once, but the truth is that your brain is not fully engaged in either task. Instead, devote all of your brainpower to accomplishing one thing at a time, and you will find it much easier to stay focused.
也许你觉得多任务是一个技能，能同时完成很多事情多牛呀。但实际上，你的大脑完全无法对每个任务都投入全部的专注。相反，一次只专注于一件事，你会发现更容易保持专心哦。

Avoid distractions
避免分心

Cut the long line of open tabs short. Don’t check Twitter, Facebook, or your email every five minutes. Making sure you take care of the tasks in front of you immediately allows you to finish faster and completely enjoy personal time without worrying. Find quiet environments to work in, and if that isn’t an option, stay focused by listening to calming music or investing in noise-canceling headphones.
切断所有的干扰信息。别再刷推特、脸书或五分钟就看一次邮箱啦。先处理手头上的事情能让你更快的完成任务，充分享受没有烦恼的私人时间。找个安静的环境工作，如果找不到的话，不妨听听安静的音乐或是带上耳塞吧。

Have “accountabil-a-buddies”
有“志趣相投的好朋友”

Find people with similar goals, people who will hold you accountable to what you set out to accomplish. They will help to remind you about your goal, spur you to stay focused when you feel unmotivated, and even be sources of new ideas when your mind feels stagnant.
找个有相同目标，能监督你去完成目标的的人。他们会提醒你这个目标的存在，会让你在没有动力的时候继续专注下去，还能在你苦无头绪的时候提供新想法哦。

Stay focused on being focused
专注于你所专注的

Don’t be misguided. Focus is inherently simple, but it is difficult too. It takes strategy, dedication, and a commitment to see things through to the end at the cost of all other possibilities. The more rigid you are with your rules of focusing and controlling your habits, the more skilled you will become at it.
不要被误导。专注既可以非常简单也可以十分困难。你需要有一定得方法，恒心和坚持才能不惜一切代价可能从始至终去完成一件事。你越专注，对自己的兴趣爱好越有控制力，也就会更加的专注。

As you strive to stay focused for the upcoming year, realize that there will be times when distraction looms and your progress towards your goals is not as rosy as it once seemed. But true focus is found when you can fall in love with the routine and seemingly boring daily practice and not be distracted by the final result or individual event. Let’s start now!
昂头挺近新的一年，要知道，总会有那么一段迷茫，让你的努力与目标相差甚远。然而一旦养成好的习惯，乐于接受这些看似无聊的锻炼，以及不要被最终的结果或个人的小事干扰之后，你就真的无敌了。还等什么，开始行动吧！
