The pace of modern life often forces us to work at the limits of our capabilities, sitting in the office until midnight or spending long hours at home in front of the computer. However, recent research by neurobiologists has shown that more than 4 hours of intensive mental activity a day not only does not increase productivity, but can even be harmful to the brain.
Oku.AzThis was reported by “360 TV”, citing experts.
Scientists have reportedly stressed that brain cells cannot be restored when working continuously for a long time, and the accumulated fatigue is carried over to the next day, reducing work efficiency and attention.
It is recommended to follow the following scheme to increase work productivity:
– Do the most difficult part of the task in the first 20 minutes;
– Then move on to simpler tasks;
– Take a short break;
– Continue working alternating difficult and simple tasks.
Neuroscientists point out that taking regular breaks, alternating activities and not overloading the brain can maintain mental clarity, creativity and productivity for many years.
