5 Reasons You Cannot Concentrate
五种原因让你分心

You misplace your keys, waver between work assignments and YouTube, and daydream during conversations. Some of it’s normal—life can get pretty hectic—but how do you know if you have a more serious problem?
你是否不知道把钥匙放到哪里去了，是否摇摆于工作与网络之间，是否在和别人谈话时心不在焉？这样的情况也是正常的，毕竟生活可以非常忙碌，但是你怎么知道你是不是有更严重的问题呢？
“We see an influx of adults being diagnosed as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) around age 38,” says Timothy Wilens, MD, an associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. “That’s right around the time people start multitasking more, juggling jobs, families, a home, and other personal obligations，” he says.
“我们发现有很多38岁左右的成年人被诊断患有注意缺陷多动障碍，”哈佛医学院精神病学副教授，医学博士蒂莫西· 维伦斯说道，“在这个年龄段的人肩上的担子开始变重，繁杂的工作，亲朋好友的事情，家庭问题，还有其他的个人义务都容易让人患上注意缺陷多动障碍。”But not everyone who slacks on work or forgets appointments has ADHD; there are plenty of other reasons you may be losing focus. Here are five things that could be sucking your attention span dry.

但是并不是每一个工作懈怠或是忘记约会的人都有注意缺陷多动障碍，还可能有很多原因让你无法集中注意力。下面我们来看看抽干你注意力的五大物事：
1. Technology overload 烦人的高科技
Your computer, cell phone, and iPod all compete for your attention—no wonder you're distracted! To a certain point, your brain can act as secretary, keeping you organized and helping with time management. But the more multitasking you try to do, the harder it is for you to stay focused on any single task, research shows. Learning basic organizational skills, like writing down responsibilities and maintaining a day planner, can help alleviate these problems. So take a break from constant television, Internet, and email inundation.

你的电脑，手机，iPod都在竞相争夺你的注意力——难怪你会分心！从某一点上来讲，你的大脑可以充当你的秘书，让你做事有条不紊，帮助你合理安排时间。但是，研究表明，你要做的事情越多，你越难将注意力单独放在一件事情上。学习一些基本的组织技巧，例如写下要做的事情啊，或是列日程表啊，这些都能帮助解决这些问题。那么，从电视，电脑和众多的电子邮件中抽出时间休息休息吧.

2. Lack of sleep缺乏睡眠

If you’re missing out on sufficient shut-eye—most likely seven to eight hours a night—you’re probably irritable, dealing with mind fog, and have difficulty managing daily tasks. That’s a normal reaction, says Dr. Wilens.

如果你缺乏充足的睡眠（每天约七至八个小时），那么你很有可能焦躁易怒，脑子里一团乱麻，无法正常处理日常事务。维伦斯说，那再正常不过了。

3. Poor job satisfaction工作不顺
Sure, everyone’s unhappy at work from time to time—maybe your client presentation flopped or your boss gave you a poor performance review. And if a disorganized work environment or a boring project make it difficult to focus, that's completely normal. But if you find that you consistently can't complete projects，you probably need medical attention. Or a new job.


                                                   

当然，每个人都时不时的在工作上产生不满情绪——可能你的业绩不佳，也可能老板觉得你表现不佳。如果工作环境很不理想或是项目很无聊让人无法集中注意力，这也是无可厚非的。但是，如果你发现自己始终无法完成项目，我想你可能就要看看医生了。或者说，换一个工作。

4. Too much stress压力过大

Stress takes a toll on concentration. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison found that the relaxation technique can increase your ability to block out distractions. Another study, from researchers at UCLA, suggests that in adults with ADHD, meditation improves attention and eases symptoms of anxiety and depression.
        

                                             

压力对于注意力的集中影响很大。威斯康星麦迪逊大学的研究人员发现放松的状态下更能集中注意力。另一项来自加州大学洛杉矶分校的调查显示，有注意缺陷多动障碍的成年人通过冥想能提高注意力，也能减轻焦躁和抑郁症状。

5. Too little exercise缺乏运动
Mounting evidence suggests that regular exercise can keep your mind sharp and increase learning and memory capacity. It’s even more crucial in adults with ADHD, who battle mental restlessness. “My patients who exercise all report that they see improvement in attention,” says Dr. Wilens. Working up a sweat can also help you burn off the extra energy that causes you to feel fidgety, and it can help you sleep better at night.

越来越多的证据表明，经常运动可以使人思维敏捷，学习能力和记忆力提高。运动对于那些心神不宁的有注意缺陷多动障碍的成年人来说更为重要。维伦斯博士说，“我有些病人就经常运动，而且的确在注意力的集中上有所提高。”出出汗也有利于燃烧身体多余的让人烦躁不安的脂肪，同时也有利于提高睡眠质量。
