Have yu ever intended t be fully absrbed in yur wrk but fund yurself distracted (走神) by e-mail, the Internet and ther things thrughut the day? Accrding t the survey made by a famus university in the USA, mst peple have the experience.
"Peple ften lse their cncentratin when they are bred, f curse, but als when they are engaged in challenging tasks," says Peter Bregman, the head f the survey. "They smetimes have a feeling t escape frm what's difficult r bring, s they jump ut," he says. The part f the brain devted t attentin is cnnected t the brain's emtinal center. Any strng emtin —quarrels with clleagues, prblems at hme —can interrupt ur attentin. Studies ver the last decade have shwn that t much wrk t d at a time can easily lead t distractin.
Refcusing is hard fr many peple. Rbert Epstein suggests the fllwing, "Stp and listen t sme sft music fr a few minutes. Find a gd friend r a teacher and say ut yur matter n yur mind. G fr a shrt walk r take a deep breath, where yu breathe in deeply, cunt t five slwly, hld it and breathe ut very slwly." This can "blw ut all the tensin and the unwanted in yur mind t restre yur fcus."
Take mre cntrl by structuring yur time and becming mre aware f yur behavirs. "Setting the phne alarm t g ff every hur is my way f creating awareness," Mr. Bregman says. "Yu have t infrm yurself that yu've lst fcus in rder t d smething abut it." Starting the day with a t-d list is als imprtant, such as when t eat, when t g t the gym r take a walk. But if it's verly ambitius, yu will put yurself in a state f anxiety, which makes it hard fr the brain t cncentrate. "Chsing three r fur things as yur pririty (优先) fr the day allws yur brain t settle dwn and fcus," he says.

that prduces electricity. Using the device, an adult walking quickly culd prduce thirteen watts f electricity in just a minute. Dnelan says walking at that speed culd prduce enugh pwer t perate a laptp cmputer fr six minutes.
There are several pssible uses fr the device. Develpers say it culd help peple wh wrk in areas withut electricity t perate small cmputers. The device culd als be used in hspitals t perate heart pacemakers(起搏器). It culd even be used t assist in the mvement f rbtic arms and legs.
