计算机主要用于服务于专业目的。他们提供广泛的服务，多年来，这些服务在生活的各个领域都派上用场。但是，尽管它们在满足我们的专业需求方面很有帮助，但干扰也不少。尽管您可能会争辩说每个人处理这些干扰的方式不同，但普遍的看法是，每隔几分钟我们就会检查是否有任何新消息或是否上传了新视频，尤其是在保存起来非常方便的时候他们的踪迹。这些分心可能会让您想知道是否有一种方法可以（如果不能避免），那么至少可以最大限度地减少在使用计算机时分心。所以今天，我将讨论如何在轻松使用Windows 10的同时专注于您的任务。
使用 Windows 10 时如何专注于任务
- 使用对焦辅助
- 禁用动态磁贴
- 整理任务栏
- 使用阅读视图
- 使用单独的浏览器配置文件
- 尝试灰度或暗模式
1.使用焦点辅助
Focus Assist被称为安静时间，是Windows 10的一项内置功能，可通过减少或完全阻止工作时显示的通知来帮助您减少分心。顾名思义，它可以帮助您保持专注。人们最常使用它来在给定的时间表内完成工作，或者当他们想要在观看电影或玩视频游戏时获得不间断的体验时。
启用（或禁用）和配置焦点(Focus)辅助的过程非常简单，它提供了多种自定义以满足您的特定需求。要解决焦点(Focus)辅助，您必须按照以下步骤操作：
- 通过同时按下Windows和“I”键或从搜索窗格中搜索来打开您的Windows设置。(Windows)
- 单击(Click)系统(System)，然后从左侧的选项栏中进一步选择焦点辅助。(Focus)
- 打开Focus(Focus)辅助后，您首先会看到一组三个通知选项，您可以在其中选择是否要限制通知，如果要限制通知，那么它们将是什么通知。默认设置为“关闭(Off)”，所有通知都会显示，但您可以创建应用程序的优先级(Priority)列表或完全关闭它们。
- 您还可以安排一天中想要激活Focus辅助的时间，以防您不希望它全天运行。在这些时间表中，您可以自定义所需的帮助类型。例如，焦点(Focus)辅助在一段时间内可能仅针对您的优先级(Priority)列表运行，而在另一时间段内可能会限制除警报之外的所有通知。
- 最后，是一个检查点，询问您是否想总结一下由于焦点(Focus)辅助开启而全天错过的所有内容。使用它有助于快速赶上更新。
对您来说幸运的是，Focus辅助并不是Microsoft提供的唯一可以帮助您更好地专注于工作的功能。还有其他几种工具，下面将讨论其中的一些。
提示(TIP)：遮光部分电脑屏幕以减少干扰(Blackout parts of the computer screen to reduce distractions)。
2.禁用动态磁贴
偶尔会引起您注意的一件事是应用程序上的更新代码。这可以通过右键单击应用程序的图标，选择更多，然后单击“关闭动态磁贴”来禁用。
3.整理任务栏
在尝试专注于一项任务时，一个非常有用的建议是在干净的环境中工作。这可以通过整理任务栏来实现。在这样做时，您将对出现在任务栏上的图标进行排序。它有助于使其尽可能简约。执行此操作的程序如下：
- 打开设置(Settings)并选择个性化(Personalization)。
- 单击(Click)左侧边栏中的任务(Taskbar)栏。
- 这将为您带来所有任务栏(Taskbar)设置。
- 在这里，您可以选择任务栏(Taskbar)的位置，无论您是否希望任务栏(Taskbar)按钮显示徽章，还可以选择要显示的图标。

4.使用阅读视图
在网络上阅读(Reading)文章或电子书有时会很麻烦，因为它们周围有太多标签。Microsoft Edge提供阅读(Reading)视图功能，可提供身临其境的阅读体验。每次在(Every)Edge上打开文章时，用户都可以在地址栏右侧找到一个书本图标，按下该图标即可启用它。

5.使用单独的浏览器配置文件
有时，分离最重要和最常访问的链接会很有帮助。一个非常方便的方法是创建一个不同的浏览器配置文件。在这里，一个配置文件可以存储您所有重要的工作相关书签，并且可以单独用于专业用途，而另一个可以用于休闲和娱乐目的。
6.尝试灰度或暗模式
据观察，人们有时倾向于在没有加载亮色的环境（例如默认的Windows显示模式）中工作得更好，效率更高。因此，您可以尝试灰度(Grayscale)或暗(Dark)模式，顾名思义，它可以降低颜色。
为了实现灰度(Grayscale)模式，您必须访问“轻松(Ease)访问”(Access)设置。在这里，您将在左侧看到滤色(Color) 器。(Filters)单击(Click)它并进一步启用滤色器。默认设置是灰度(Grayscale)，您必须将其转换为灰度(Grayscale)反转。
可以类似地启用暗模式。访问“设置”(Settings)中的“个性化(Visit Personalization)” ，转到“颜色”，然后从“选择(Choose)您的颜色”下拉列表中选择“深色”。
这些是您可以对 Windows 10 计算机进行的最常见的调整和修改，以提高您的工作效率。虽然确实不同的事情倾向于为不同的人工作，但我们试图在这里涵盖人们在使用计算机时最常见的分心方面的内容。
如果您想让自己坚持一段时间，也可以实现其他一些事情，例如设置简单的墙纸并在工作时听音乐或播客。
How to Stay Focused on Tasks when using Windows 10
Computers have predominantly been used to serve professiоnal purposes. They offer a wide range of serviсes that havе, over the years, come in handy in every sphere of life. But as helpful aѕ they are in catering to our professional needs, the distractions are no less. While you may argue that everyone handles these distractions differently, it is the common sentiment that after every few minutes we’rе driven to check if there are any new meѕsages or if a new videо has beеn uploaded, еspecially when it is so convenient to keep a track of them. These distractions may have yоu wonder if there is a way that you could, if not avoid, then at least mіnimize getting distracted while using your сompυter. Ѕo todaу, I will be discusѕing how you can focuѕ on your tasks while using Windows 10 with ease.
How to stay focused on tasks when using Windows 10
- Use Focus assist
- Disable live tiles
- Declutter the taskbar
- Use reading view
- Use separate browser profiles
- Try grayscale or dark mode
1. Use Focus assist
Known as quiet hours, Focus Assist is a built-in Windows 10 feature that helps you curb down your distraction by cutting down on or completely stopping notifications from showing up while you are working. As the name suggests, it assists you in staying focused. It is most commonly used by people to get their work done within a given schedule or when they want to have an uninterrupted experience while, for example, watching a movie or playing a video game.
The process to enable (or disable) and configure Focus assist is pretty easy and it offers several customizations to suit your particular needs. To work around with Focus assist, you have to follow the steps below:
- Open your Windows settings by pressing the Windows and ‘I’ key together or by searching for them from the search pane.
- Click on System and further select Focus assist from the options bar on the left.
- The first thing you will see upon opening Focus assist is the set of three notifications options offered where you get to choose if you want to restrict notifications and if you do, then what notifications would they be. The default setting is ‘Off’ where all the notifications will show up, but you can create a Priority list of the apps or turn them off altogether.
- You can also schedule the times of day when you want to activate Focus assist in case you don’t want it to run throughout the day. In these schedules, you can customize the type of assistance you need. For example, Focus assist, for one period of time, may run only for your Priority list, while for another may restrict all notifications except alarms.
- In the end, is a checkpoint that asks if you want to be summarized about all that you have missed throughout the day because Focus assist was on. Using it can be helpful to catch up with updates in a jiffy.
Fortunately for you, Focus assist isn’t the only feature that Microsoft offers that helps you concentrate on your work better. There are several more tools, some of which are talked about below.
TIP: Blackout parts of the computer screen to reduce distractions.
2. Disable Live Tiles
One thing that can occasionally grab your attention is the updates ticker on the apps. This can be disabled by right-clicking on the app’s icon, selecting more, and clicking on ‘Turn live tile off’.
3. Declutter the Taskbar
A very helpful piece of advice when trying to focus on a task is to work in a clean environment. This can be achieved by decluttering your Taskbar. In doing so you will sort the icons that appear on your Taskbar. It helps to keep it as minimalistic as possible. The procedure to do it is as below:
- Open Settings and select Personalization.
- Click on Taskbar from the left-sidebar.
- This will bring to you all the Taskbar settings.
- Here, you can select the location for your Taskbar, whether or not you want the Taskbar buttons to show badges, and also select the icons that would be on display.
In this article, we talk about some other measures you can take to make your Windows setup cleaner and help you work on it more effortlessly.
4. Use Reading view
Reading articles or e-books on the web can sometimes be a hassle with too many tabs around them. Microsoft Edge offers a Reading view feature that offers an immersive reading experience. Every time an article is opened on Edge users can find a book icon on the right side of the address bar, which is to be pressed in order to enable it.

5. Use separate browser profiles
Sometimes segregating your most important and most frequently visited links can be of great help. A very convenient way to do this is to create a different browser profile. Here, one profile can store all your important work-related bookmarks and can be used separately for professional purposes, while the other can be used for leisure and recreational purposes.
6. Try Grayscale or Dark mode
It has been observed that people sometimes tend to work better and are more productive in an environment that’s not loaded with bright colors (such as the default Windows display mode). Thus, you can try Grayscale or Dark mode which, as the names suggest, tone the colors down.
In order to implement the Grayscale mode, you have to visit the Ease to Access settings. Here, you will see Color Filters on the left side. Click on it and further enable color filters. The default setting is Grayscale which you have to turn to Grayscale inverted.
The dark mode can be enabled similarly. Visit Personalization in the Settings, head over to Colors, and from the Choose your color dropdown select ‘Dark.’
These are the most common tweaks and modifications you can make to your Windows 10 computer to step up your productivity. While it is true that different things tend to work for different people, we have tried to cover as much ground here in terms of the most common distractions that people face while working on their computers.
There are some other things that, too, can be implemented like setting a simple wallpaper and listening to music or a podcast while working if you want to keep yourself going for a while at a stretch.
