三和一善 異なるレベルの対応（危機管理３）
不只是你。科學解釋了你現在的注意力是如何分散的以及如何找回它
如何關注和深入思考的五個關鍵見解：
1. 你的注意力沒有崩潰——它被偷了。
我們現在生活在嚴重的注意力危機中——類似於肥胖危機或氣候危機。普通大學生在每項任務上只花費 65 秒。普通上班族只花三分鐘。即使是財富 500 強的 CEO，平均每天也只有 28 分鐘不間斷的專注。
我了解到，有 12 個因素會降低我們的注意力，而其中許多因素在過去幾年中急劇上升。換句話說，你的注意力沒有崩潰；被這些強大的勢力偷走了。你沒有變弱。你被黑了。有趣的是，通常是我們想到的首要原因的技術正在發揮重要作用，但它並不是最大的原因。要想擺脫這場危機——讓我們的大腦恢復活力——我們需要先了解這12個原因，然後一一處理。
2. 如果您的屏幕時間顯示您每天在手機上花費三個小時，那麼您失去的注意力遠不止這些。
麻省理工學院領先的神經科學家之一厄爾·米勒教授直言不諱地告訴我：“你的大腦一次只能在你的有意識的頭腦中產生一兩個想法”。而已。 “我們非常非常專一。”然而，現在普通的年輕人相信他們可以同時關註六七種媒體。當神經科學家對此進行研究時，他們發現當人們相信他們同時做幾件事時，正如米勒解釋的那樣，他們實際上是在“雜耍”。他們來回切換。他們沒有註意到這種轉��，因為他們的大腦將其覆蓋以提供無縫的意識體驗。但他們實際上在做的是時刻切換和重新配置他們的大腦，任務到任務；這是有代價的。”
三和一善
他解釋說，“你的表現下降，你變慢了——這都是轉換的結果。”這感覺像是一個很小的影響，但它會大大降低你的注意力和思考能力。卡內基梅隆大學人機交互實驗室的一項研究讓 136 名學生參加了考試。他們中的一些人不得不關掉手機；其他人打開手機，收到斷斷續續的短信。收到信息的學生平均表現要差 20%。其他具有類似情況的研究發現更糟糕的結果為 30%。
但它仍然變得更糟。俄勒岡大學的邁克爾·波斯納教授發現，如果你被打擾了，你平均需要 23 分鐘才能恢復到被打擾前的專注水平。因此，如果您的屏幕時間顯示您每天在手機上花費三個小時，那麼您將失去更多。然而，我們被諸如 Facebook 之類的應用程序所包圍，這些應用程序旨在打斷我們並讓我們拿起我們的設備並開始滾動。
3. COVID-19 危機使我們中的許多人陷入了一種被稱為高度警惕的狀態，這正在破壞我們的注意力。
在 COVID-19 危機開始時，我們中的許多人認為，如果有更多空閒時間，我們會閱讀更多內容。許多人打開了他們被忽視的《戰爭與和平》副本——但實際上，我們比以往任何時候都更努力地集中註意力。為什麼？加利福尼亞州的外科醫生 Nadine Harris 博士是第一個告訴我有助於解釋這一點的心理現象的人。
4. 我們在西方世界的飲食方式嚴重損害了我們的注意力和專注力。
過去幾年出現了一個新的科學領域，稱為營養精神病學——研究我們吃的東西如何影響我們大腦的工作方式。通過採訪該領域的一些領軍人物，我了解到西方世界史無前例地轉向吃加工食品，這嚴重影響了我們在三個方面集中註意力的能力。首先，正如英國領先的營養學家之一戴爾平諾克博士向我解釋的那樣，我們的飲食會導致巨大的能量峰值，然後能量崩潰——��給我們留下了腦霧。例如，想像一下你早餐吃白麵包或含糖麥片；它能非常快地釋放葡萄糖，給你一股能量。但隨後你的血糖崩潰了，你癱倒在辦公桌前，感覺筋疲力盡，無法清晰思考。平諾克說，這就像“將火箭燃料放入迷你車中。它會很快燒毀並破產，因為它無法處理。但是加入它設計的汽油，它會很好地進行。”
5. 只有在兩個不同的層面做出反應，我們才能擺脫這場危機。
我們需要在兩個層面上應對這場危機。首先是作為孤立的個體，通過改變我們自己和孩子的生活，保護自己免受入侵我們注意力的 12 種力量的侵害。我學到了許多不同的技術，我在書中進行了介紹。僅舉一個真正幫助我的例子：我買了一個kSafe，一個小型塑料保險箱，無論你告訴它多久，它都能鎖住你的智能手機。所以現在我禁錮了我的手機，每天有四個小時不受干擾的時間。
個人變化會有所幫助，但它們只會讓我們走這麼遠。此刻，就好像我們身上都沾滿了止癢粉，把止癢粉倒在我們身上的人在說：“你知道，你可能想學打坐。那你就不會抓那麼多了。”冥想確實有價值，但我們需要團結起來，共同承擔將這種粉末倒在我們身上的力量，並阻止它們。正如女性需要（也需要）一場女權運動來控制自己的身體和生活一樣，我相信我們現在需要一場注意力運動來恢復我們的大腦。我們可以解決這場危機的深層原因。僅舉一個例子：只要社交媒體公司從打斷和分散我們的注意力中獲利，他們就會找到更複雜的技術來做到這一點。我們需要迫使他們採用不同的商業模式。

Autocontrole: evitar desejos com a força de vontade é uma estupidez
Diversos estudos mostram que a força de vontade não é a melhor forma de evitar seus desejos — e que essa atitude ainda pode te prejudicar de outras formas. Para ter mais autocontrole em sua vida, a melhor saída é se privar.
Tenho certeza que você já se sentiu um fracassado por, em algum momento da vida, não ter tido força de vontade o suficiente para realizar algo que era importante para você. Seja seguir uma dieta, praticar atividades físicas, largar um vício…
Mas pode ficar tranquilo pois isso é muito comum e todo mundo passa por situações semelhantes. Além disso, diversos estudos mostram que a “força de vontade” não é a melhor forma de evitar seus desejos — e que essa atitude ainda pode te prejudicar de outras formas.
Joseph Everett, dono do canal “What I’ve learned” focado em temáticas polêmicas, divulgou um compilado de informações e estudos relacionados ao assunto. O título do vídeo em questão: “Willpower is for Losers” (em tradução, “força de vontade é para perdedores”).
Vamos entender o que ele quis dizer com isso.
Força de vontade é para perdedores?
Everett começa compartilhando uma experiência pessoal.
Ele mostrou para sua namorada o KSafe, um pote de plástico que tem uma função bastante específica: você fecha a tampa e programa um tempo pelo qual o pote deve ficar trancado. Somente após esse período é possível abrir novamente o recipiente e pegar o que está lá dentro. O produto não está à venda no Brasil, até o momento dessa publicação.
Reprodução - What I've Learned
KSafe.
Nesse caso, ele havia trancado um controle de videogame porque achava que estava jogando demais e sem o controle não seria possível fazê-lo. Ela o perguntou: “Você não pode simplesmente resistir e não jogar?” Então, levanta a questão central:
Qual é a diferença entre resistir a uma tentação e não ter uma tentação?
O experimento do marshmallow
O “experimento do marshmallow” é um estudo feito em 1972 na Universidade de Stanford pelo psicólogo Walter Mischel. A ideia é simples, e semelhante a um “desafio” que talvez você tenha visto nas redes sociais há alguns meses.
Algumas crianças foram colocadas sozinhas em uma sala, sentadas em frente a um marshmallow. Os responsáveis avisavam que iriam sair mas voltariam em dez minutos, e que durante esse tempo as crianças não poderiam comer o doce.
Se elas conseguissem resistir à tentação, após os dez minutos elas ganhariam outro marshmallow e poderiam comer dois em vez de apenas um.
Reprodução - What I've Learned
O experimento foi registrado com câmeras escondidas, e durante o período de espera as crianças encaravam o marshmallow, cheiravam e até lambiam. Apenas 1/3 das 32 crianças testadas conseguiu resistir durante os 10 minutos, enquanto o restante comeu o doce mesmo sabendo que perderia a chance de ganhar outra unidade.
O que diferencia as crianças que resistiram à tentação das que acabaram comendo o marshmallow “proibido”? Em breve voltaremos a falar sobre isso.
A força de vontade é um recurso limitado
A gente já sabe que resistir a uma tentação exige esforço e não é nada fácil, mesmo havendo recompensas como um marshmallow extra, por exemplo. Geralmente ficamos felizes e satisfeitos quando temos força de vontade o suficiente para alcançar um objetivo.
Mas existem consequências negativas quando você se esforça para evitar uma tentação?
Um estudo feito pelo psicólogo Roy Baumsteir e seus colegas Ellen Bratslavsky, Mark Muraven e Dianne M. Tice mostrou que pode, sim, haver consequências. O experimento foi feito com 67 participantes que estavam há 3 horas sem comer e foram colocados em uma sala que tinha o aroma de “cookies de chocolate recém assados”.
Eles foram colocados em uma mesa com dois potes: um cheio de cookies e outro cheio de rabanetes. Parte dos participantes foi obrigada a comer os rabanetes e não podia tocar nos biscoitos, enquanto a outra parte tinha a liberdade para comer os cookies à vontade. Então, eles tiveram que montar um quebra-cabeça bem estressante e que, sem saberem, era impossível.
A ideia era verificar quanto tempo eles levariam para desistir do quebra-cabeça. Resultado: os que tiveram que resistir aos cookies, desistiram duas vezes mais rápido do que aqueles que não precisaram resistir à tentação.
Isso mostra que o fato de estarem usando sua força de vontade para não comer os cookies fez com que eles tivessem menos força de vontade para persistir no desafio.
Este foi um dos experimentos realizados pelos estudiosos para provar a ideia de “ego depletion“, ou esgotamento de ego. Esse conceito mostra que a força de vontade é um recurso limitado e pode se esgotar. É como um músculo, que após ser submetido a determinado esforço se cansa e precisa de um descanso para se recuperar.
Já começa a ficar mais claro a relação disso tudo com o fato de muita gente ter desistido de fazer quarentena na pandemia de Covid-19.
Tentações são distrações (se não agora, em breve!)
Joseph Everett afirma que, intuitivamente, todos nós sabemos que as tentações são uma distração. É mais difícil trabalhar quando você está de dieta e sente o cheiro de uma comida que você ama e não pode comer. Vai ser mais difícil se concentrar nos estudos se for sexta à noite e seus amigos te chamarem para sair.
Um estudo de 2012 publicado no Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, testou 205 adultos que estavam resistindo a alguma tentação. Eles tinham que usar um aparelho por uma semana, que em momentos aleatórios durante o dia enviaria perguntas sobre o que eles desejavam, o quanto eles desejavam aquilo e se estavam conseguindo resistir à tentação.
Cerca de 8 mil tentações foram reportadas durante a semana de experimento. A conclusão reforça a ideia de que a força de vontade é limitada. Quanto mais você resiste a tentações, maiores são as chances de você se entregar a outro desejo em algum momento.
Por exemplo, se você passou o dia no trabalho usando toda a sua força de vontade para resistir às redes sociais, aos jogos no celular, às conversas com os amigos e focou inteiramente nas suas obrigações, as chances de você chegar em casa e se render à Netflix em vez de ir para a academia, ou de comer um doce em vez de se manter na dieta, são muito grandes.
Outra conclusão interessante deste estudo: pessoas que reportaram menos tentações durante a semana de experimento, demonstravam maior força de vontade para resistir aos desejos. Ou seja, as pessoas com maior autocontrole eram aquelas que menos usavam o autocontrole, já que precisavam resistir a menos tentações.
O que há de tão bom no autocontrole?
Outro estudo, chamado “What’s so great about self-control?“, realizado por Marina Milyavskaya e Michael Inzlicht — dois psicólogos e professores universitários canadenses — testou 159 estudantes universitários e fez uma descoberta interessante.
As pessoas que mais exercem o autocontrole não são as que obtém mais sucesso atingindo seus objetivos. Os mais bem sucedidos são aqueles que planejam sua vida para não precisar se controlar ou resistir a tentações.
Everett revela que desde que passou a trabalhar em home office, jogar vídeo game durante o dia é sempre uma opção. Como a possibilidade de jogar está sempre ali, ele acaba se distraindo e até negociando consigo mesmo:“vou jogar apenas por 20 minutos e depois trabalhar por 1 hora”.
Aposto que você também já se pegou nessa situação alguma vez na vida.
A questão é que, mesmo se tiver autocontrole e não parar de trabalhar para jogar video game, a simples necessidade de resistir àquela tentação faz com que você se distraia e tenha sua produtividade diminuída.
O psicólogo Glenn Wilson afirma, baseado em seus estudos, que a vontade de checar um simples e-mail em sua caixa de entrada durante o trabalho pode diminuir seu QI em 10 pontos.
Como se livrar dos maus hábitos?
O autor de best-seller sobre bons hábitos, James Clear explica, em seu livro “Hábitos Atômicos”, que existe um ciclo composto por 4 fatores: sugestão, desejo, resposta e recompensa.
Um exemplo: você está no trabalho às dez e meia da manhã, entediado, cansado e sem conseguir focar no que está fazendo. Essa situação é uma sugestão para o desejo de tomar um café. Em resposta a esse desejo, você se levanta a vai tomar o café e então vem a recompensa: mais energia e o prazer proporcionado pela bebida.
O autor afirma que você só consegue se livrar dos maus hábitos quando um ou mais fatores desse ciclo deixam de existir.
Se você passa a dormir melhor e não está cansado às dez e meia da manhã, então não vai haver a sugestão ou o desejo de tomar café, por exemplo. Ou você está cansado nesse horário, mas responde ao desejo de uma forma diferente e joga uma água no rosto em vez de se recompensar com o café.
Qualquer uma dessas ou outras mudanças de atitudes vai fazer com que você enfraqueça seu hábito — nesse caso é o café, mas serve para qualquer coisa. Clear diz que essa é a melhor forma de se livrar de um hábito: enfraquecendo-o a partir da quebra do ciclo.
Se olhar para uma barra de chocolate faz com que você queira comê-la, coloque-a em um local onde ela não possa ser vista. Se você se desconcentra e checa o celular sempre que vê uma notificação, o ideal é desligar o celular ou guardá-lo na gaveta. Dessa forma não há sugestão ou desejo, e o ciclo não se inicia.
Em vez de tentar resistir a uma tentação, você deve criar outras estratégias para que a tentação não exista.
De volta às crianças e ao marshmallow
Depois de entender tudo isso, podemos voltar ao experimento do marshmallow para entender como 1/3 das crianças conseguiu resistir à tentação. Foi observado que as crianças bem sucedidas no teste foram aquelas que em algum momento fecharam seus olhos para não ver o doce, cantaram sozinhas, inventaram jogos com as mãos ou pés…
Elas fizeram o que conseguiram fazer para tirar sua atenção do marshmallow, e assim elas se distraíam e precisaram usar menos força de vontade. Viu como encaixa com a conclusão de todos os outros estudos citados?
Reprodução - What I've Learned
Usar a força de vontade ou se privar das tentações?
Pelos estudos, podemos concluir que usar a força de vontade para evitar as tentações não é a melhor opção. Ter a possibilidade de “cair em tentação” o tempo todo, faz com que você viva com uma sensação persistente de indecisão, incerteza e até ansiedade.
“Devo trabalhar ou assistir Netflix? Devo estudar ou jogar video game?” Qualquer que seja a decisão, terá um custo e uma recompensa.
Se escolher trabalhar, o custo é ter que usar a força de vontade para ter a recompensa de cumprir suas obrigações e ficar livre para fazer o que quiser. Se escolher a Netflix, o custo é a frustração de não ter força de vontade o suficiente, mas a diversão será a recompensa.
Essa incerteza faz com que você fique confuso e em um estado constante de ansiedade, diminuindo sua habilidade para focar no que é realmente importante. Quando você se priva das distrações, não há mais a dúvida sobre fazer aquilo ou não, e seu cérebro acaba se esquecendo daquela tentação.
Quando o autor do vídeo tranca seu controle de vídeo game no pote, o jogo deixa de ser uma opção e ele não precisa mais se decidir entre jogar ou trabalhar. Ele simplesmente trabalha e, no momento em que o pote for destrancado, ele pode jogar sem culpa ou frustração.
Assim, ele precisa usar menos força de vontade e retoma o controle de sua vida – com perdão do trocadilho.

Meet the Underdog Who Inspires Michael Phelps | This Week in Fitness
We all need heroes, and that’s the theme in this edition of “This Week in Fitness” (check out our streamlined title!). Every other week, the Under Armour Connected Fitness editorial team hand-curates the biggest stories, trends and goings-on around the world that aim to motivate you to be the healthiest you. Get ready for inspiration.
Phelps Inspires an Ultimate Underdog
Michael Phelps captivated millions during his legendary career. But maybe no story is as inspirational as the one involving Johnny Agar, a Michigan native born with cerebral palsy who has completed several marathons with his father pushing him in his wheelchair. Turns out the most decorated Olympian in history has been a major inspiration for Agar, whose mother even made a near shot-for-shot remake of Phelps’ “Rule Yourself” Under Armour spot. Count Phelps among Agar’s biggest fans, too — he put his full support behind Agar ahead of the youngster’s next challenge: this weekend’s Ironman 70.3 in central Florida.
Steph Curry: Super Dad
Speaking of UA athletes, if you haven’t caught the video of Stephen Curry doing “Carpool Karaoke” with James Corden on “The Late Late Show,” you’re missing out. Not only can the two-time NBA MVP rain 3s on opposing defenses, he can tear up Disney classics from “Frozen” and “Moana.” Riley Curry, you are a lucky little girl.
Counting the Beans in Boston
In just a few days, more than 30,000 runners will participate in the 121st edition of the Boston Marathon, arguably the biggest major footrace in America. It’s certainly had its share of history, but if you’re curious how much the top finishers take home, check out this from the Boston Globe.
WATCH > FIT TIPS: TRAINING FOR YOUR FIRST MARATHON
Earth’s Hardest Marathon?
Boston’s notorious Heartbreak Hill has nothing on the Barkley Marathons in eastern Tennessee, a quirky, off-the-books race comprising five separate loops of more than 20 miles each that attracts ultramarathoners from around the globe. If that description doesn’t drive home how hard it is, consider this: Literally one man out of 40 participants finished this year’s edition, just a half-hour short of the 60-hour cutoff. Only 15 runners have completed the whole thing in its 31-year history.
If You’re Inked, Don’t Sweat It
More news from the running world: A recent study found that individuals with tattoos sweat differently in those spots than people without the ink. What’s more, you have a greater concentration of salt in the sweat that does come from tattooed areas.
Anything You Can Do…
Are women better at endurance sports than men? That’s the question this piece from Outside Magazine attempts to answer, citing the results of several recent races and events from around the globe. If there’s still a gender gap out there, it may be closing when it comes to physical competition.
You’re Doing the Escalator Wrong
Stop us if you’ve heard this one: You’re desperate to get some extra steps in, and that left side of the escalator looks free. So you pump those high knees and huff and puff to the top. Feels awesome, right? According to this take from The New York Times, not only is it not the advantage you thought, but you’re messing it up for everyone.
Weight Loss By Lockdown
We’ve seen some extreme measure to lose weight, but this is a new one. Maybe you saw this device on “Shark Tank” — the kSafe lock box that literally locks your trigger food away, complete with a timer. Women’s Health tried it out, and found it worked … sorta. Again, we at UACF don’t condone these sorts of quick-fix methods — read up on more here.
READ MORE > ASK THE DIETITIAN — WHY IS WEIGHT LOSS SO HARD?
A Bone (Broth) to Pick
It’s been touted as a trendy food for some time now, but bone broth continues to elevate into the zeitgeist. And when it’s determined to be a hipster staple, you know it’s officially a thing. According to NPR’s The Salt blog, high demand for bone broth is starting to drive the price of this restorative quaff north of $12 per quart. Make no bones about that.
Bizarre Ballpark Foods, 2017 Edition
Baseball fare has come a long way from hot dogs, peanuts and Cracker Jacks. In recent years, a day at the old ballgame has come to be associated with stranger eats like Krispy Kreme doughnut dogs, the fried S’mOreo, the Burgerizza and, of course, Rocky Mountain oysters. Deal in the Seattle Mariners, who now offer toasted grasshoppers — known as Chapulines south of the border — at Safeco Field. Tossed with chili lime salt, a cup will set you back only $4. Another bonus: They’re high in protein — and ahead of their time. As our own writer notes, insect-based food is the wave of the culinary future.

Meet the Underdog Who Inspires Michael Phelps | This Week in Fitness
We all need heroes, and that’s the theme in this edition of “This Week in Fitness” (check out our streamlined title!). Every other week, the Under Armour Connected Fitness editorial team hand-curates the biggest stories, trends and goings-on around the world that aim to motivate you to be the healthiest you. Get ready for inspiration.
Phelps Inspires an Ultimate Underdog
Michael Phelps captivated millions during his legendary career. But maybe no story is as inspirational as the one involving Johnny Agar, a Michigan native born with cerebral palsy who has completed several marathons with his father pushing him in his wheelchair. Turns out the most decorated Olympian in history has been a major inspiration for Agar, whose mother even made a near shot-for-shot remake of Phelps’ “Rule Yourself” Under Armour spot. Count Phelps among Agar’s biggest fans, too — he put his full support behind Agar ahead of the youngster’s next challenge: this weekend’s Ironman 70.3 in central Florida.
Steph Curry: Super Dad
Speaking of UA athletes, if you haven’t caught the video of Stephen Curry doing “Carpool Karaoke” with James Corden on “The Late Late Show,” you’re missing out. Not only can the two-time NBA MVP rain 3s on opposing defenses, he can tear up Disney classics from “Frozen” and “Moana.” Riley Curry, you are a lucky little girl.
Counting the Beans in Boston
In just a few days, more than 30,000 runners will participate in the 121st edition of the Boston Marathon, arguably the biggest major footrace in America. It’s certainly had its share of history, but if you’re curious how much the top finishers take home, check out this from the Boston Globe.
WATCH > FIT TIPS: TRAINING FOR YOUR FIRST MARATHON
Earth’s Hardest Marathon?
Boston’s notorious Heartbreak Hill has nothing on the Barkley Marathons in eastern Tennessee, a quirky, off-the-books race comprising five separate loops of more than 20 miles each that attracts ultramarathoners from around the globe. If that description doesn’t drive home how hard it is, consider this: Literally one man out of 40 participants finished this year’s edition, just a half-hour short of the 60-hour cutoff. Only 15 runners have completed the whole thing in its 31-year history.
If You’re Inked, Don’t Sweat It
More news from the running world: A recent study found that individuals with tattoos sweat differently in those spots than people without the ink. What’s more, you have a greater concentration of salt in the sweat that does come from tattooed areas.
Anything You Can Do…
Are women better at endurance sports than men? That’s the question this piece from Outside Magazine attempts to answer, citing the results of several recent races and events from around the globe. If there’s still a gender gap out there, it may be closing when it comes to physical competition.
You’re Doing the Escalator Wrong
Stop us if you’ve heard this one: You’re desperate to get some extra steps in, and that left side of the escalator looks free. So you pump those high knees and huff and puff to the top. Feels awesome, right? According to this take from The New York Times, not only is it not the advantage you thought, but you’re messing it up for everyone.
Weight Loss By Lockdown
We’ve seen some extreme measure to lose weight, but this is a new one. Maybe you saw this device on “Shark Tank” — the kSafe lock box that literally locks your trigger food away, complete with a timer. Women’s Health tried it out, and found it worked … sorta. Again, we at UACF don’t condone these sorts of quick-fix methods — read up on more here.
READ MORE > ASK THE DIETITIAN — WHY IS WEIGHT LOSS SO HARD?
A Bone (Broth) to Pick
It’s been touted as a trendy food for some time now, but bone broth continues to elevate into the zeitgeist. And when it’s determined to be a hipster staple, you know it’s officially a thing. According to NPR’s The Salt blog, high demand for bone broth is starting to drive the price of this restorative quaff north of $12 per quart. Make no bones about that.
Bizarre Ballpark Foods, 2017 Edition
Baseball fare has come a long way from hot dogs, peanuts and Cracker Jacks. In recent years, a day at the old ballgame has come to be associated with stranger eats like Krispy Kreme doughnut dogs, the fried S’mOreo, the Burgerizza and, of course, Rocky Mountain oysters. Deal in the Seattle Mariners, who now offer toasted grasshoppers — known as Chapulines south of the border — at Safeco Field. Tossed with chili lime salt, a cup will set you back only $4. Another bonus: They’re high in protein — and ahead of their time. As our own writer notes, insect-based food is the wave of the culinary future.
