3 habits to help the brain concentrate and improve work efficiency

HƯƠNG SƠN |

According to neuroscientists, some simple habits in daily life can help the brain concentrate highly, thereby operating more effectively.

Start the day with light exercise

Many studies show that morning exercise helps stimulate blood circulation to the brain, thereby improving concentration. According to Dr. John Ratey, a neuroscientist at Harvard Medical School (USA), just 20-30 minutes of brisk walking, cycling or light exercise can help the brain release important neurotransmitters, support memory and information processing ability.

Working in a short cycle

A habit encouraged by many experts is to break down working hours into 25-30 minute cycles, interspersed with short breaks. This method helps the brain avoid overload and maintain a stable level of concentration. According to psychologist Gloria Mark (University of California, USA), taking a few short breaks after each working cycle can help the brain "re-establish" attention, thereby improving work efficiency.

Limit multitasking

The habit of doing many things at once seems to save time, but in reality makes the brain constantly switch to a state of attention. Experts at Stanford University (USA) say that prolonged multitasking can reduce concentration and increase the risk of errors. Therefore, focusing on completing each task one by one will help the brain process information more accurately and efficiently.
