its because time isnt the limiting factor. if it were the limiting factor, people could work non-stop without breaks or any unproductive distractions (消遣). instead, people, even those who are highly productive, need to take breaks, occasionally procrastinate (拖延) and slow down on tasks throughout the day.the real and most important limiting factor for productivity is your energy levels to pay attention. energy levels limit your productivity because when youre tired, you can have enough time and still not get everything done. your attention ability is also limited, because even if there are a million things that need to be done, you can only focus on one or two at a time.you might not be able to insert another 4-5 hours into your schedule without making some sacrifices. but even extremely busy people can add an hour or two into their schedule without cancelling anything. the reason why its hard to “find time” isnt a lack of time. its because you dont have enough energy left to focus on something else that needs to fit into your day.i first suspected time wasnt the real problem during an extremely busy period in my life over a year ago. i was extremely busy, but at that time i still exercised regularly. i had daily to-do lists with over twenty items, and i still found time to exercise. however, after a few weeks off, due to illness, i stopped exercising. i was not busy by any standards, in fact, my schedule was incredibly light. despite this free time, i found it hard to find time to exercise. it seemed to get pushed later and later into my schedule until it was gone. how can i explain this odd experience? i believe you have known it. 59. if someone cant work with 100% efficiency, the most important limiting factor is _.a. a schedule without gaps b. breaks and distractionsc. the limited time d. the limited energy60. according to paragraph 4, everyone, including the extremely busy people, can _.a. work without any rest b. focus on many things at a timec. find some more time in a day d. do some exercise regularly61. the writer gives the example of himself in the last paragraph in order to _.a. prove what the real limiting factor isb. show us how busily he needs to workc. explain how important a healthy body isd. tell us what an odd experience he has62. what is the best title of the passage?a. do you really lack time? b. how can you work efficiently?c. what makes your energy limited? d. when should you do exercise?cthe way we get about has a deep influence on the way we liveaffecting where we set up home, work and holiday. so what changes might come in the way we get around?
