necesită multă perfecționare,
you're going to go out for a walk
in your left hand.
vei fi un geniu creator.
process did we focus on?
am examinat?
coming up with a new idea.
găsirea unei idei noi.
with a variety of people.
cu o mulțime de persoane.
indoors or outdoors.
înăuntru ori afară.
found the same conclusion.
la aceeaşi concluzie.
about one of them today.
doar despre unul dintre ele.
was alternate uses.
găsirea de întrebuințări alternative.
ways to use common everyday objects
întrebuințări ale obiectelor de zi cu zi.
what else would you do with a key,
for opening up a lock?
ca să deschizi o broască?
as a third eyeball for a giraffe, right?
ca al treilea ochi al unei girafe, da?
kind of new. But is it creative?
într-un fel, nou. Dar este creativ?
as many ideas as they could,
cât mai multe idei cu putință
that a lot of people go with
cu care mulți sunt de acord
it has to be realistic,
trebuie să fie realist,
a key as an eyeball.
o cheie pe post de ochi.
is that nobody had to have said it.
nu trebuia să fi fost spusă de nimeni.
trebuia să fie întâi adecvată,
that we surveyed could have said it.
de sondaj nu ar fi putut s-o spună.
a key to scratch somebody's car,
o cheie ca să zgârii maşina cuiva,
nu erai punctat pentru asta.
you didn't get credit for it.
and it were a murder mystery,
şi ar fi o crimă învăluită în mister
of the murderer into the ground
numele criminalului în pământ
because it's appropriate and it's novel.
pentru că este potrivită şi inedită.
with ideas while you were seated
şi găseai idei cât stăteai aşezat
with different objects.
cu diferite obiecte.
a stat jos mai întâi
pentru al doilea test.
while walking on a treadmill.
mergând pe o bandă de alergare.
and this is interesting --
and then they sat.
şi apoi a stat jos.
that sat together for the first test,
împreună la primul test,
about 20 creative ideas per person.
de circa 20 de idei creative fiecare.
on the treadmill
de două ori mai bine.
on a treadmill in a windowless room.
într-o încăpere fără ferestre.
test didn't get any better;
la al doilea test
and then went on the treadmill
şi apoi s-au dus pe banda de alergare
walking on the treadmill
is that you should go for a walk
and just start brainstorming right away.
şi apoi începe imediat un brainstorming.
the best effect possible.
or a topic to brainstorm.
sau o temă pentru brainstorming.
and all of a sudden,
you're thinking about ahead of time.
te gândeşti din timp.
brainstorming a different perspective
să găsească o perspectivă diferită
is that if I were running,
este că dacă aş alerga,
would be to stop running, so ...
ar fi să nu mai alerg, aşa că...
is a comfortable pace, good.
este un ritm confortabil, bine.
activity is not taking a lot of attention.
care nu cere multă atenție.
pace is a good choice.
este o bună alegere.
as many ideas as you can.
cât mai multe idei bune cu putința..
is to not lock on that first idea.
este să nu te opreşti la ideea inițială
until you pick one or two to pursue.
până alegi să urmezi una.
to write them down,
că nu le pui în scris,
and record through your phone
şi înregistrează pe telefon
a creative conversation, right?
o conversație creativă, da?
your idea down is already a filter.
este deja un filtru.
"Is this good enough to write down?"
„Merită s-o aștern în scris?"
și gândeşte-te la ele apoi.
record them and think about them later.
la nesfârşit.
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.
