Research-based tips to flex your cortex and improve cognitive performance.

Tip 1: Start single tasking. 

For those who proudly identify as multi-taskers, understand that your brain is not built to perform two tasks at the same time. Instead, it must switch quickly from task to unrelated task. Multitasking tires the brain and activates stress hormones. Giving your full attention to the project at hand will increase accuracy, innovation, and speed.

貼士1: 嘗試每次衹做一件事

習慣並自豪於一次過處理多項任務的人士請留意 ! 我們的大腦生來就不宜同時處理兩件事情。其實，大腦在同時處理兩件事時，它衹是在這兩件互不相干的任務之間不斷快速轉移。這樣同時處理多項任務不但會使大腦疲倦，更會激活大腦的壓力荷爾蒙。相反，把全副精力集中在單一項工作上，可以提高整體的準確度、創意性和速度。
