These mechanisms eventually tire just like the muscles in our body, and this leads to something called Directed Attention Fatigue. 當你運用「由上至下」的注意力，專注在某件事上時，你的大腦會啟動「抑制機制」來阻擋其它會分散注意力的刺激物。不過，大腦也沒辦法永遠持續這個狀態。這種「抑制機制」就像我們身上的肌肉一樣，終究還是會疲乏，而導致所謂的「導向性注意力疲乏」。 【心得】看來一心還是不能多用的，做人處事還是要專心/情一點，不要三心二意囉;) ■inhibitory [ɪnˈhɪb.ɪtərɪ] 禁止的、抑制的；有抑制、約束作用的 ■stimulus [ˋstɪmjələs] 刺激(物)；促進(物)；促進因素 複數形： stimuli [ˋstɪmjʊ.laɪ] ■block out擋住、屏蔽；不去想；草擬；概略畫出 ■mechanism [ˋmɛkə͵nɪzəm]機械零件；機械裝置；體制，結構方式；機制；辦法、途徑；手法

So I'll suggest that try to avoid everything that you know will distract your productivity, such as Facebook, Line, Korean dramas, etc. Just turn off all your social media and even WiFi. Additionally, have enough sleep every day.
