ways to use common everyday objects

what else would you do with a key,
ما الذي يمكنك فعله بمفتاح،
for opening up a lock?
as a third eyeball for a giraffe, right?
كعين ثالثة لزرافة، أليس كذلك؟
kind of new. But is it creative?
لكن هل هو مبدع؟
as many ideas as they could,
that a lot of people go with
الذي يُجمع عليه أغلب الناس
it has to be realistic,
يجب أن يكون واقعيًّا،
a key as an eyeball.
is that nobody had to have said it.
هو أن لا يكون قد قاله شخص آخر.
كان يجب أن يكون ملائمًا أولًا،
that we surveyed could have said it.
في المجموعة التي عايناها.
a key to scratch somebody's car,
لتخريب سيارة أحدهم،
you didn't get credit for it.
فلن تُكافَأ عليه.
and it were a murder mystery,
of the murderer into the ground
because it's appropriate and it's novel.
with ideas while you were seated
وتبتكر أفكارًا أثناء جلوسك
with different objects.
while walking on a treadmill.
مشيًا على جهاز المشي.
and this is interesting --
and then they sat.
that sat together for the first test,
خلال الاختبار الأول،
about 20 creative ideas per person.

on the treadmill
on a treadmill in a windowless room.
في غرفة خالية من النوافذ.
خلال الاختبار الثاني لم يتحسنوا،
test didn't get any better;
and then went on the treadmill

walking on the treadmill
is that you should go for a walk

وبعدها ابدأ مباشرة بالعصف الذهني.
and just start brainstorming right away.
the best effect possible.
بأكبر قدر ممكن.
or a topic to brainstorm.
للعمل عليها.
and all of a sudden,
you're thinking about ahead of time.
brainstorming a different perspective
is that if I were running,
هي أنني إذا كنت أجري،
would be to stop running, so ...
هي أن أتوقف عن الجري، لذا...
is a comfortable pace, good.
إيقاعًا مريحًا، فهذا جيد.
activity is not taking a lot of attention.
النشاط الرياضي على جزء كبير من انتباهك.
pace is a good choice.
as many ideas as you can.
أكبر قدر ممكن من الأفكار.
is to not lock on that first idea.
هو عدم الاكتفاء بالفكرة الأولى
until you pick one or two to pursue.
حتى تختار واحدة أو اثنتين للعمل عليها.
to write them down,
and record through your phone
والتسجيل في هاتفك
a creative conversation, right?
أليس كذلك؟
your idea down is already a filter.
"هل هذا جيد بما فيه الكفاية لأكتبه؟"
"Is this good enough to write down?"
وسجل ثم فكر لاحقًا.
record them and think about them later.
and that idea's not coming to you,
on a break right now,
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Marily Oppezzo - Behavioral and learning scientistMarily Oppezzo studies how the movement of the body can affect the movement of the mind.
Why you should listen
Inheriting an energetic passion for health from her dad, Marily Oppezzo's past research has investigated ways to use the world to motivate healthy brains and healthy behaviors. She is currently an Instructor of Medicine at the Stanford Prevention Research Center. She is also working with Dr. Dan Schwartz to find out if fidgeting in the classroom may be a desirable cognitive tool rather than an irritating hallmark of inattention, and she's working with Dr. Margaret Neale and Dr. Jodi Prochaska to discover how walking may improve negotiation outcomes.
Along her way, Oppezzo has collected several souvenir lessons from her range of work and educational experiences:
Bartending:
1. The environment has incredible power to elicit and shape behaviors; and
2. Everyone has at least one interesting story in them.
Dietetics:
1. Biochemistry is fascinating;
2. We grant food immense powers. It can be simultaneously viewed as a vehicle of health, morality, social bonding, government conspiracy, inequality and pleasure; and
3. A plateful of knowledge doesn't always help the medicine go down.
Teaching / education:
1. Watching people learn, grow, and change is a deep gratification unique to teaching and behavior change work; and
2. Learning, like behavior change, takes distributed practice to become part of you. (We can’t binge-watch knowledge any more than we should pull flossing all-nighters).
Cardiac rehab:
1. Everyone has the capacity to be an inspiration and in surprising, unexpected ways; and
2. Health becomes incredibly valuable once you experience a true loss of it; and
3. Exercise is the ultimate multitasker: it can heal the brain, the heart and the body all at once.
