環境嘈雜更容易產生好點子?
If you're doing work at a coffee shop because of the free WiFi and great coffee, you should know that there's another benefit to working at your local Starbucks, according to a study published in the Journal of Consumer Research. Research found that working in a place with a "moderate level of ambient noise" causes the sort of distraction that boosts creativity. The study says:
如果你去咖啡店只是因爲那裏有免費的無線上網和好喝的咖啡，那麼現在你應該知道，在星巴克裏工作還有一大好處。最新出版的《消費研究》雜誌中的一項調查發現，在“適當嘈雜的環境”下工作會產生某種分心，從而提高創造力。"Instead of burying oneself in a quiet room trying to figure out a solution, walking out of one's comfort zone and getting into a relatively noisy environment may trigger the brain to think abstractly and thus generate creative ideas."
該研究指出，“與其埋首在一個安靜的房間裏絞盡腦汁，還不如走出自己的舒適區，去到一個相對嘈雜的環境中，這樣反而會激發大腦的抽象思維，創造出更多好點子。”So if you're stuck on a task, maybe all you need to do is to step into a lively coffee shop to get the your imaginative juices going again.
所以，如果你爲了某項工作苦惱不已，也許你要做的就是走出去，到一個活色生香的咖啡店裏，奇思妙想沒準就不請自來了。
