▷글의 제목 - Building New Networks During Transitions (전환기에 새로운 네트워크 구축하기)

▷3줄 요약 - When entering a new situation, people often isolate themselves to focus solely on mastering what's new. However, this laser-focused approach is a mistake as it leaves you without remedies to handle inevitable microstresses. Instead, use transitions as opportunities to build new networks that can support and shape your future work. (새로운 상황에 들어갈 때, 사람들은 종종 새로운 것을 마스터하는 데에만 집중하기 위해 자신을 고립시킵니다. 하지만 이러한 지나친 집중은 필연적인 미세 스트레스에 대처할 해결책을 없애버리므로 실수입니다. 대신, 전환기를 미래의 업무를 지원하고 형성할 새로운 네트워크를 구축하는 기회로 활용하세요.)

▷글의 흐름 - 새로운 상황에서 집중을 위해 관계를 단절하는 사람들의 경향 ⇒ 지나친 집중이 미세 스트레스 대처 능력을 저하시키는 부작용 설명 ⇒ 집중만 하는 대신 전환기를 새로운 네트워크를 구축하는 기회로 삼을 것을 권장

▷ Flow of the text - People's tendency to cut connections to focus on new situations ⇒ Explanation of the negative side effect where over-focusing reduces the ability to cope with microstresses ⇒ Recommending the use of transitions as an opportunity to build new networks instead of just focusing

본문] When moving into a new situation, many people decide that they need to master what's new. To this end, they reduce their connections to people or activities that might distract them from their goal. But that is a mistake. Being too focused can lead to becoming unidimensional ─ you have few remedies to the microstresses that are inevitably bombarding you at that time. So when things are tough during such a transition, you have almost nothing else in your life to counterbalance the stress. Instead of staying laser-focused, use this transition as the jumping-off point for building new networks to shape the work you want to do and whom you want to do it with.

해설] 새로운 상황으로 들어갈 때, 많은 사람들은 새로운 것을 마스터할 필요가 있다고 결정한다. 이를 위해 그들은 자신의 목표에서 주의를 딴 데로 돌릴 수 있는 사람이나 활동과의 관계를 줄인다. 하지만 그것은 실수이다. 너무 집중하는 것은 단차원적이 되는 결과를 낳을 수 있다. 즉, 그 당시에 필연적으로 당신에게 쏟아지는 미세 스트레스에 대한 해결책이 거의 없게 된다. 그래서 그러한 전환기 동안 상황이 힘들 때, 당신의 삶에는 그 스트레스를 상쇄할 다른 것이 거의 없게 된다. 극도로 집중한 상태를 유지하는 대신, 이 전환기를 당신이 하고 싶은 일과 그 일을 함께 하고 싶은 사람을 형성하기 위한 새로운 네트워크를 구축하는 출발점으로 사용하라.
