2、an do when one of us gets on a plane, undistracted by phones, friends, and Finding Nemo. We race to get all our ground work done: packing, going through TSA, doing a last-minute work call, calling each other, then boarding the plane. Then, when we try to have that amazing work session in flight, we
3、get nothing done. Even worse, after refreshing our email or reading the same studies over and over, we are too exhausted when we land to soldier on with the emails that have inevitably still piled up.BWhy should flying deplete us? Were just sitting there doing nothing. Why cant we be tougher more re
4、silient and determined in our work so we can accomplish all of the goals we set for ourselves? Based on our current research, we have come to realize that the problem is not our hectic schedule or the plane travel itself; the problem comes from a misunderstanding of what it means to be resilient, an
5、d the resulting impact of overworking.CWe often take a militaristic, “tough” approach to resilience and grit. We imagine a Marine slogging through the mud, a boxer going one more round, or a football player picking himself up off the turf for one more play. We believe that the longer we tough it out
6、, the tougher we are, and therefore the more successful we will be. However, this entire conception is scientifically inaccurate.DThe very lack of a recovery period is dramatically holding back our collective ability to be resilient and successful. Research has found that there is a direct correlati
7、on between lack of recovery and increased incidence of health and safety problems. And lack of recovery whether by disrupting sleep with thoughts of work or having continuous cognitive arousal by watching our phones is costing our companies $62 billion a year (thats billion, not million) in lost pro
8、ductivity.EAnd just because work stops, it doesnt mean we are recovering. We “stop” work sometimes at 5PM, but then we spend the night wrestling with solutions to work problems, talking about our work over dinner, and falling asleep thinking about how much work well do tomorrow. In a study released
9、last month, researchers from Norway found that 7.8% of Norwegians have become workaholics. The scientists cite a definition of “workaholism” as “being overly concerned about work, driven by an uncontrollable work motivation, and investing so much time and effort to work that it impairs other importa
10、nt life areas.”FWe believe that the number of people who fit that definition includes the majority of American workers, including those who read HBR, which prompted us to begin a study of workaholism in the U.S. Our study will use a large corporate data set from a major medical company to examine ho
11、w technology extends our working hours and thus interferes with necessary cognitive recovery, resulting in huge health care costs and turnover costs for employers.GThe misconception of resilience is often bred from an early age. Parents trying to teach their children resilience might celebrate a hig
12、h school student staying up until 3AM to finish a science fair project. What a distortion of resilience! A resilient child is a well-rested one. When an exhausted student goes to school, he risks hurting everyone on the road with his impaired driving; he doesnt have the cognitive resources to do wel
13、l on his English test; he has lower self-control with his friends; and at home, he is moody with his parents. Overwork and exhaustion are the opposite of resilience. And the bad habits we learn when were young only magnify when we hit the workforce.HAs Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz have written, if yo
14、u have too much time in the performance zone, you need more time in the recovery zone, otherwise you risk burnout. Mustering your resources to “try hard” requires burning energy in order to overcome your currently low arousal level. This is called upregulation. It also exacerbates exhaustion. Thus t
15、he more imbalanced we become due to overworking, the more value there is in activities that allow us to return to a state of balance. The value of a recovery period rises in proportion to the amount of work required of us.ISo how do we recover and build resilience? Most people assume that if you sto
16、p doing a task like answering emails or writing a paper, that your brain will naturally recover, such that when you start again later in the day or the next morning, youll have your energy back. But surely everyone reading this has had times where you lie in bed for hours, unable to fall asleep beca
17、use your brain is thinking about work. If you lie in bed for eight hours, you may have rested, but you can still feel exhausted the next day. Thats because rest and recovery are not the same thing. Stopping does not equal recovering.J If youre trying to build resilience at work, you need adequate in
18、ternal and external recovery periods. As researchers Zijlstra, Cropley and Rydstedt write in their 2014 paper: “Internal recovery refers to the shorter periods of relaxation that take place within the frames of the workday or the work setting in the form of short scheduled or unscheduled breaks, by
19、shifting attention or changing to other work tasks when the mental or physical resources required for the initial task are temporarily depleted or exhausted. External recovery refers to actions that take place outside of worke.g. in the free time between the workdays, and during weekends, holidays o
20、r vacations.” If after work you lie around on your bed and get riled up by political commentary on your phone or get stressed thinking about decisions about how to renovate your home, your brain has not received a break from high mental arousal states. Our brains need a rest as much as our bodies do
21、.KIf you really want to build resilience, you can start by strategically stopping. Give yourself the resources to be tough by creating internal and external recovery periods. In her upcoming book The Future of Happiness, based on her work at Yale Business School, Amy Blankson describes how to strate
22、gically stop during the day by using technology to control overworking. She suggests downloading the Instant or Moment apps to see how many times you turn on your phone each day. The average person turns on their phone 150 times every day. If every distraction took only 1 minute (which would be seri
23、ously optimistic), that would account for 2.5 hours of every day.LYou can use apps like Offtime or Unplugged to create tech free zones by strategically scheduling automatic airplane modes. In addition, you can take a cognitive break every 90 minutes to recharge your batteries. Try to not have lunch
24、at your desk, but instead spend time outside or with your friends not talking about work. Take all of your paid time off, which not only gives you recovery periods, but raises your productivity and likelihood of promotion.MAs for us, weve started using our plane time as a work-free zone, and thus ti
25、me to dip into the recovery phase. The results have been fantastic. We are usually tired already by the time we get on a plane, and the cramped space and spotty internet connection make work more challenging. Now, instead of swimming upstream, we relax, meditate, sleep, watch movies, journal, or lis
26、ten to entertaining podcasts. And when we get off the plane, instead of being depleted, we feel rejuvenated and ready to return to the performance zone.【六级匹配题参考答案】36.It has been found that inadequate recovery often leads to poor health and accidents答案:D解析:D段第二句“Research has found that there is a dir
