da ideia inicial ao produto final,
you're going to go out for a walk
na mão esquerda.
in your left hand.
criativo nos concentramos,
process did we focus on?
coming up with a new idea.
surgindo com uma nova ideia?
quatro estudos com várias pessoas,
with a variety of people.
fechados ou ao ar livre,
indoors or outdoors.
chegaram à mesma conclusão.
found the same conclusion.
about one of them today.
foi o de usos alternados.
was alternate uses.
outros modos possíveis
ways to use common everyday objects
comuns do dia a dia.
podemos fazer com uma chave,
what else would you do with a key,
for opening up a lock?
as a third eyeball for a giraffe, right?
para uma girafa, não é mesmo?
interessante e novo.
kind of new. But is it creative?
o máximo de ideias possível,
as many ideas as they could,
isso é criativo ou não?
com a qual muitos concordam
that a lot of people go with
tem que ser realista.
it has to be realistic,
a key as an eyeball.
uma chave como globo ocular.
é aquilo que ninguém tenha dito.
is that nobody had to have said it.
antes de tudo, apropriado,
pesquisada pudesse ter dito.
that we surveyed could have said it.
para riscar o carro de alguém,
a key to scratch somebody's car,
you didn't get credit for it.
nenhum de nós ganharia crédito pela ideia.
e fosse um assassinato misterioso,
and it were a murder mystery,
of the murderer into the ground
do assassino no chão
porque é apropriada e nova.
because it's appropriate and it's novel.
enquanto estava sentado
with ideas while you were seated
with different objects.
com diferentes objetos.
se sentou primeiro
para o segundo teste.
while walking on a treadmill.
enquanto caminhava na esteira.
and this is interesting --
e depois se sentou.
and then they sat.
juntos para o primeiro teste
that sat together for the first test,
20 ideias criativas por pessoa.
about 20 creative ideas per person.
on the treadmill
em um quarto sem janelas.
on a treadmill in a windowless room.
o teste duas vezes.
para esse segundo teste não melhoraram;
test didn't get any better;
and then went on the treadmill
e depois foram para a esteira
caminhando na esteira
walking on the treadmill
residual da caminhada,
antes de nossa próxima grande reunião
is that you should go for a walk
and just start brainstorming right away.
o melhor resultado possível.
the best effect possible.
ou um assunto para o "brainstorm".
or a topic to brainstorm.
quando estamos no chuveiro,
and all of a sudden,
do frasco de xampu.
com antecedência.
you're thinking about ahead of time.
sob uma perspectiva diferente na caminhada
brainstorming a different perspective
é que, se eu estivesse correndo,
is that if I were running,
seria parar de correr, então...
would be to stop running, so ...
é um ritmo confortável, está bem.
is a comfortable pace, good.
que não esteja exigindo muita atenção.
activity is not taking a lot of attention.
confortável é uma boa escolha.
pace is a good choice.
o máximo de ideias possível.
as many ideas as you can.
é não travar na primeira ideia.
is to not lock on that first idea.
até escolher uma ou duas para se dedicar.
until you pick one or two to pursue.
em não querer anotá-las,
to write them down,
de ouvido e gravar pelo celular
and record through your phone
uma conversa criativa, certo?
a creative conversation, right?
a ideia já é um filtro.
your idea down is already a filter.
para anotar?", e então anotamos.
"Is this good enough to write down?"
gravem as ideias e pensem nelas depois.
record them and think about them later.
para sempre, está bem?
e a ideia não vier para vocês,
and that idea's not coming to you,
a um intervalo neste momento.
on a break right now,
e levam seus pensamentos para passear?
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.
