Broschi was right. But the mystery lies not in absentmindedness itself, but in how it promotes our thinking. When people are wrapped in monotony, brain activity will automatically enter a special cognitive state: distraction. In our efficiency-oriented modern society, daydreaming is often regarded as lazy. This is a manifestation of procrastination, which is separated from productivity.
In recent years, neuroscientists have dramatically subverted our view of "mind wandering". On the one hand, research shows that the time and frequency of our daydreaming are far beyond imagination. Last year, dan gilbert and Matthew Klinsworth, psychologists of Harvard University, published an excellent paper in Science magazine, which proved how we frequently fall into this black hole called "mind wandering" in our minds. They developed an iphone application, which contacted a total of 2,250 volunteers from time to time and asked them about their current activities and happiness. The study found that people are distracted 46.9% of the time. In fact, the only activity that can stop people from being distracted continuously is making love-only in this way can people concentrate.
Scholer found that people who are often absent-minded are more creative (which can be measured in various ways). The experiment was carried out as follows: Scholer asked the subjects to read some paragraphs in War and Peace, and counted the time interval from the beginning of reading to the beginning of distraction. However, not all daydreams can inspire people to the same extent. Scholer found in his experiments that daydreaming can also be divided into two distinct types. When people are daydreaming the first kind, they don't know it; It was not until the researchers woke them up that they realized that they had had a daydream. In the specific experiment, the subjects were asked to press a button when they realized that they were distracted, but the person who daydreamed for the first time did not press the promised button. On the contrary, people know this when they daydream for the second time; They realized that they were distracted by themselves. Scott's research data shows that for those who are distracted without knowing it, their creativity has not improved.
Therefore, just daydreaming is not enough. It is easy to distract your attention; The difficult thing is to maintain meta-consciousness. Only by maintaining meta-consciousness can you record a useful idea in your mind when generate comes up with it-whether you are taking a shower or taking a bus; In this way, your daydream will not be in vain.
Because the right way: 1 If you are in a trance, and mind-wandering is a morbid state, properly supplement nutrition and vitamin B.
2, if it is depression, it is necessary to take medicine to solve it.
3. If you are emotional, you should keep normal sleep, go to bed early and get up early, arrange your work reasonably, keep your concentration and don't think about it. Persistence can reverse this situation.
