Ben Angel, an expert in Australian personal brand building and marketing, published a new study on the American Entrepreneur Magazine website.Angel says that the most efficient period of the day is two hours after you wake up. Instead of visiting websites or replying to emails, you are highly recommended to use the two hours to deal with the most important and urgent things at the beginning of the day, for the reason that you have the highest executive power during this period. Wait until lunch time to deal with mail or other trivial things.
The International Brain Education Associationhas found that the brain produces moderate levels of stress hormones between 9and 11 a.m., which contributes to people’s achieving high concentration of attention. Therefore, this period of time is the most suitable for sophisticated learning activities, or mental work which needs to serious analysis and mental concentration.
In addition, a study at the Forster School of business at the University of Washington suggests that when you wake up in the morning can affect the brain's excitability cycle.The head of the study said, "we will have an efficient period in the office before lunch.". But if you get up late, the ideal situation will be delayed. And after lunch, the body's function is at its lowest point in a day. If you get up too late, you may not be able to adjust to an ideal office state for the whole day.
一天里哪个时段最高效
澳大利亚个人品牌建立和营销专家本·安杰尔(Ben Angel)在美国企业家杂志网站上,公布了自己的一项新发现。安杰尔表示,一天里效率最高的时段是在你醒来后的两个小时。他建议,每天最开始工作的时候,不要去浏览网站或者回复邮件,而是要用这两个小时去处理最重要、最紧迫的事情,因为这个阶段你的执行力最高。等到吃午饭之前,再去处理邮件或者其他琐碎的事情。
国际大脑教育协会发现,大脑在上午9点到11点这个时段,分泌的压力荷尔蒙水平适中,这能帮助人们实现注意力的高度集中。所以这段时间最适合进行高精尖端的学习活动,或者是需要认真分析和精神高度集中的脑力工作。
另外,华盛顿大学福斯特商学院的一项研究表明,起床时间的早晚会影响大脑的兴奋周期。这项研究的负责人说,我们在午餐之前会进入一个办公的高效状态。但如果你起得晚,这个理想状态出现的时间就会推迟。而且吃过午餐之后,人体机能会进入一天里的最低谷。如果起床太晚,可能会一整天都无法调整到最理想的办公状态。
