in the Evening, when the teeth you are brushing and suddenly, the ideas. The bristles brush through the mouth, the thoughts fly aimlessly back and forth – and there’s an Aha-Moment. The thoughts were a stroll and return with a Souvenir back to consciousness about a possible solution to a Problem that didn’t show during the day.
It can be helpful to distract yourself and to allow the Thinking divergences. The psychologists show Shelly Gable of the University of California in Santa Barbara in a study in the journal “Psychological Science”: Removes the Thinking from the tasks at hand, can lead sometimes to good ideas.
How beautiful, because distractions are lurking, finally, everywhere: On the computer news sites, Social Media Feeds, or Youtube movies to observe, and the Smartphone with all its functions in Attention courting is always to seduction. It can be misery hard to stay in the matter – and even if there is no consumer electronics is, escapes the mind quickly in daydreams.
About 20 percent of their brainstorms, have not had a physicist and a writer, while you were with full concentration on the work.
The psychologists to Gable wanted to know, therefore, of theoretical physicists and professional Script writers, and how mental digressions have an impact on your work and idea generation. “We have chosen these two professions, because they generate different creative results,” write the psychologists. A theoretical physicist can take many different paths, but all lead to one goal, a specific problem solution. Script writers have the freedom to solve problems in the progress of a story in many different Ways – you do not have a clearly defined goal except the one to create at the end kind of a good Plot.
physicists and authors led to the study of weeks, a sort of idea journal. Therein, the participants listed their most important creative imagination of the day, as well as the circumstances under which you had come.
Unexpected Aha-feelings
About 20 percent of their flashes of inspiration had both the physicist and the writer, while they had not worked with full concentration on your task. Instead, these ideas were surfaced, as they let their thoughts wander, or they were just busy with a very different matter. This, by the Way-the ideas bestowed on physicists and authors are also more likely to experience an Aha-feeling, as if they had been in the thing, and the meadows are also more likely to find a way out of blind alleys, in which the subjects in their activities had been put.
The results fit to anecdotes about great thinkers or researchers and their moments of insight. For example: “The theory of relativity”, said Albert Einstein, “occurred to me while I’m riding a bike.”
This sounds all so, as the patent recipe for great was ideas to cycle a little bit, or dreaming. Of course, this is not the case. The psychologists to Gable physicists and authors close with a time interval, namely, the quality of your ideas rate: the subjects of The masses created their spontaneous Aha-Moment-ideas later, no larger value in the case of ideas, the goods you come during concentrated work – not every spontaneous idea is the theory of relativity.
Nevertheless, is in the study of psychologists from Santa Barbara Trost: The results may help to come to terms with the fact that one’s thoughts are always so hard at the rod. Because that is hard to bear, given the often absurd high self-claims.
The Harvard psychologists Matthew Killingsworth and Daniel Gilbert have shown, a few years ago in a study in the journal “Science” that rambling make thoughts most of the people unhappy. The two researchers found, in a sample of 2250 subjects, the thoughts that go first as a journeyman, regardless of how pleasant the actual job is, before you just run it and, secondly, that these digressions beat, the mood, if beautiful themes are the subject of the mental escape movements.
Reduced performance
beat Why digressions on the mood, do not answer Killingsworth and Gilbert. But one answer could be stuck in the negative effects associated with galloping thoughts. The combined the psychologist Jonathan Smallwood and Jonathan Schooler, 2015 in an overview article in the journal “Annual Review of Psychology”. Mental digressions reduce, among other things, the performance of the work and the results in intelligence tests and reduce the understanding of texts.
And people, the dream of easy, have on average a lower degree of self-control, what is seen as an important career factor. The bad mood by means of digressions might, therefore, have their source in the fact that most opposed it, because they want to reach well-behaved your objectives, and constantly preaching to listen to, so we should live in the Here and Now and the Moment in a mindful exercise.
The divergence or the thoughts of migration certificates anyway, so something like the default setting of the brain to be, say, Killingsworth and Gilbert. Which raises the question: What is the advantage of this erratic Thinking, so the Evolution has it been approved? He probably is the fact that this confusion promotes creative Inspiration.
but That is no justification for escape from tasks, because the Muse comes, finally, alone. But these are reasons to be occasionally less stringent, loosely to allow and to grant the idea of your freedom. (Editorial Tamedia)
