People often say, "I'm tired of my head because of brain labor," but in reality, I sometimes think that my body is tired and my stiff shoulders and poor blood circulation are "tired."
In such a case, if you take a break, take a walk, do some exercises, and refresh yourself, your blood circulation will improve and your brain will circulate and your head will become clearer.
Also, "concentration" is said to restore mentality and attention. Certainly, after a lot of concentration, you may feel that your head is refreshing, in fact.
Concentration is important for the brain and mentality.
But in fact, even if you work or play, your brain will get tired. Why is that?
This is something I want to do because weakening the brain weakens the mentality and increases the risk of depression.
Then what is the brain getting tired?
I'm talking about "then what makes your brain tired?", But is the cause of your brain tired because you maintained your concentration for a long time? It's easy to think, but it's different.
"Timing to switch concentration"
However, the cause of exhaustion of brain function.
When you switch the target of attention, that is, when you are concentrating, you get tired of your brain when you copy your attention to something else.
When you're absorbed in your work, you lose your concentration due to being called or called, and after doing something completely different, such as calling or talking, you use a lot of energy when you start the original work again. ..
It is very tiring to restore the concentration that was once lost.
Even if the smartphone becomes a picone and an SNS notification comes, attention shifts to it and starts checking the SNS.
In that way, when attention is switched to various places, the brain becomes exhausted.
Multitasking is not good
A super worker, multitasking man who handles phone calls and emails while working on a computer and gives work instructions by reading documents!
"Multitasking" that handles multiple tasks at the same time is cool! You can work! However, in reality, it's different, and instead of doing multiple tasks at the same time, the brain is doing a lot of task switching work with a single task, and it seems as if they are doing it at the same time. is.
Since the concentration is switched frequently, you are in a state of "brain tired" no matter how you think about it.
If your brain is tired, it can cause mistakes, and it can be true that your mental illness causes various illnesses, and at one point your mind breaks and you fall into depression.
Brain reset button
The only way to prevent such concentration from getting tired from your brain is to either "eliminate the change of concentration" or "switch as much as possible" in your lifestyle.
In other words, you can "control the timing of your attention" .
Email, LINE notifications, SNS notifications, etc. are representative of the causes of switching concentration. Decide on a schedule to check them, check them all together in the morning and reply, or check again in the evening and reply all together, and decide not to check at all other times.
"It's difficult! (´ ・ ω ・`) "
That's right, I understand.
But at the very least, if you do it once every 30 to 50 minutes, or if you gradually get used to it and do it once every two hours, you should reduce the switching of concentration and reduce brain fatigue.
It's morbid that "I have to return the email as soon as I receive it" and "I have to read and reply to LINE immediately". If you need a call right away, please call me.
It's not worth dealing with someone who doesn't have the self-control to get angry because they don't reply right away, who doesn't manage themselves, and who exploits the time of others (`・ ω ・ ´)
