TAMPA, Fla (AP) — Brandon Lowe homered in his third straight game and the Tampa Bay Rays routed the Toronto Blue Jays 13-0 Sunday for a five-game winning streak and their second series sweep this season.
He said accomplishing tasks in the same order every morning is helpful because people have limited mental bandwidth before they have to recharge. The brain subconsciously reserves resources for tasks that require higher-level thinking, so routines are a type of mental shortcut.“We’re cognitive misers,” McClean said. “We don’t like to use our mental energy on things that aren’t important.”
His research has found that employees perform better and are more calm throughout the day when they complete their morning regimen uninterrupted. Conversely, employees with disruptive mornings report higher levels of mental depletion late in the day.“When it comes to routine disruptions, it throws off your whole day,” he said on a day when he was playing catch-up after having forgotten about his daughter’s show-and-tell. “You get to work and you realize you didn’t brush your teeth.”Most people already have some kind of routine in place, but few consciously decided on it before it became automatic, McLean said.
It’s hard to define what a good routine is, and there is no formula that is best for everyone.“It’s going to be idiosyncratic to each person,” McLean said. “It’s what helps them function. Now, can we have destructive routines? Yes.”
Rushing around in the morning to shower, eat and get out the door just on time is an example of a destructive morning routine, Kaur said. The stress of a rushed morning produces extra cortisol, which is a necessary hormone that helps regulate the circadian rhythm, she said. It’s what naturally wakes you up and makes you alert in the morning.
Too much cortisol in the bloodstream, however, creates a feeling of restlessness and anxiety that can be similar to drinking coffee on an empty stomach, Kaur said.El sábado, otras dos instalaciones en el departamento Alpes Marítimos fueron dañadas y las autoridades también sospechan que fue un incendio provocado. Unos 160.000 usuarios se quedaron temporalmente sin luz, incluso en eventos en el Festival de Cine de Cannes.
El alcalde de Niza, Christian Estrosi, condenó el ataque del domingo y dijo que la ciudad había presentado una denuncia.“Condeno enérgicamente estos actos maliciosos dirigidos a nuestro país”, afirmó en la red social X. Ordenó que toda la infraestructura eléctrica sensible de la ciudad se colocara bajo protección policial.
“Estas acciones pueden tener consecuencias graves, particularmente en los hospitales”, expresó Estrosi en una rueda de prensa el domingo. “Mientras los perpetradores no sean capturados, permaneceremos en alerta máxima”.Esta historia fue traducida del inglés por un editor de AP con la ayuda de una herramienta de inteligencia artificial generativa.
