In the summer of 1997,
9
NASA's Pathfinder spacecraft landed on the surface of Mars and began transmitting incredible,
10
iconic images back to Earth.
11
But several days in, something went terribly wrong the transmissions stopped.
12
Pathfinder was, in effect, procrastinating,
13
keeping itself fully occupied, but failing to do its most important work.
14
What was going on?
15
There was a bug, it turned out, in its scheduler.
16
Every operating system has something called the scheduler
17
that tells the CPU how long to work on each task before switching and what to switch to.
18
Done right, computers move so fluidly between their various responsibilities,
19
they give the illusion of doing everything simultaneously.
20
But we all know what happens when things go wrong.
21
This should give us, if nothing else, some measure of consolation.
22
Even computers get overwhelmed sometimes.
23
Maybe learning about the computer science of scheduling can give us some ideas about our own human struggles with time.
24
One of the first insights is that all the time you spend prioritizing your work is time you aren't spending doing it.
25
For instance, let's say when you check your inbox,
26
you scan all the messages,
27
choosing which is the most important.
28
Once you've dealt with that one, you repeat.
29
Seems sensible, but there's a problem here.
30
This is what's known as a quadratic time algorithm.
31
With an inbox that's twice as full,
32
these passes will take twice as long,
33
and you'll need to do twice as many of them.
34
This means four times the work.
35
The programmers of the operating system Linux encountered a similar problem in 2003.
36
Linux would rank every single one of its tasks in order of importance
37
and sometimes spent more time ranking tasks than doing them.
38
The programmer's counterintuitive solution was to replace this full ranking with a limited number of priority buckets.
39
The system was less precise about what to do next,
40
but more than made up for it by spending more time making progress.
41
So with your emails, insisting on always doing the very most important thing first could lead to a meltdown.
42
Waking up to an inbox three times fuller than normal could take nine times longer to clear.
43
You'd be better off replying in chronological order or even at random.
44
Surprisingly, sometimes giving up on doing things in the perfect order may be the key to getting them done.
45
Another insight that emerges from computer scheduling has to do with one of the most prevalent features of modern life, interruptions.
46
When a computer goes from one task to another,
47
it has to do what's called a context switch,
48
bookmarking its place in one task,
49
moving old data out of its memory, and new data in.
50
Each of these actions comes at a cost.
51
The insight here is that there's a fundamental trade-off between productivity and responsiveness.
52
Getting serious work done means minimizing context switches.
53
But being responsive means reacting any time something comes up.
54
These two principles are fundamentally in tension.
55
Recognizing this tension allows us to decide where we want to strike that balance.
56
The obvious solution is to minimize interruptions.
57
The less obvious one is to group them.
58
If no notification or email requires a response more urgently than once an hour,
59
say, then that's exactly how often you should check them.
60
No more.
61
In computer science, this idea goes by the name of interrupt coalescing.
62
Rather than dealing with things as they come up,
63
oh, the mouse was moved,
64
a key was pressed, more of that file downloaded,
65
the system groups these interruptions together based on how long they can afford to wait.
66
In 2013, interrupt coalescing triggered a massive improvement in laptop battery life.
67
This is because deferring interruptions lets a system check everything at once,
68
then quickly re-enter a low-power state.
69
As with computers, so it is with us.
70
Perhaps adopting a similar approach might allow us users to reclaim our own attention
71
and give us back one of the things that feels so rare in modern life— rest.
72
Are you interested in improving your own time and task management skills?
73
If so, we highly recommend you check out Algorithms to Live By,
74
the computer science of human decisions.

練習のヒント

このビデオのスピードとトーンを真似ることで、英語の発音を良くする練習ができます。ビデオを視聴しながら、以下のアプローチを実践してみてください。まず、各セクションを何度も繰り返し聞き、特に重要なポイントを把握します。その後、shadowspeak(影響を受けて発音すること)を通じて、抑揚やリズムを意識して声に出すことが効果的です。発話の際には、自分の声を録音し、再生して自分の発音や流暢さを確認することも良い練習になります。最初は完璧でなくても構いません。大切なのは継続して練習し、自分の成長を実感することです。

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
