Everyone knows that the best way to generate your ideas is a walk.
2. Do you know any other trick that helps your brain work?
I guess for me the alternative to walking is to go to the gym or play a computer game to distract and overload the brain or play monopoly with friends.
3. Have you got problems with concentration in work?
Very often I have problems with concentration at work, very often ideas do not come to mind. Usually the that can do for 2 hours, do 8 hours.
4. Do you think creativity influences the focus and efficiency of work? Or maybe it just bothers you?
I work in the creative field, it is important for me that the idea was useful and aesthetically beautiful.
I think that what they said is true when it comes to me. When I have a bigger problem to think about I go to the gym and work out, almost every time when Im done working out I have figured a solution for my problem that I came to figure out. It really works and I highly recommend it to everyone.
2. Do you know any other trick that helps your brain work?
Well I really make my brain work when I'm bored just because I'm thinking about everything and weird other topics come to my mind all the time.
3. Have you got problems with concentration in work?
I have never had a problem with concentration at work just because I was working in a place where it was not forbidden to go out and relax, spend time outside only with yourself to think about something.
4. Do you think creativity influences the focus and efficiency of work? Or maybe it just bothers you?
Well I think it helps you to figure out different faceables to a problem but it might be problematic too just because your mind is floating somewhere else not thinking about that one topic that you are trying to solve just because you saw something interesting somewhere else. It can create some sort of a distraction which might be problematic.
1. I think this is a good idea adn in my opinion, everybody knows that all activities (ever simple walking, minimum movement) helps "think" better. I think this is due to a better blood flow to the brain (oxygen).
2. Nope I do not know any other trick that helps brain work better. As I said above, all activities helps brain work better.
3. Nope, I haven't got problems with concentration in work, because I'm very active person. I go oftem swimming and go to gym. Less or no concentration - never happened to me.
4. It's very hard to answer this question. But partially I should agree with it, because when I'm very focused on a task for a long time, I feel tired. But as we all know, practice makes perfect.
It's cool you have your own ideas how to overload your brain.
Have you heard about incubation phase inside your brain?
It's a good way to learn and rest for the brain.
Dont you think sometimes your brain should got reset? Generally it's so good for you that you could have relax like that. How do you think why it's not everywhere this type of atmosphere?
Thanks for your comment mate ;)
I must agree with you: Practise makes better. It's same everywhere.
I have to agree with the method presented in the video as it works for me too. I have never thought about why sometimes I must stand from my computer and walk even inside my house but now I realized that this helps my brain to process better.
2. Do you know any other trick that helps your brain work?
In my case I have to keep my mind on a high rpm because if I let it be lazy and give it a rest for too long then it's hard to come back to normal state hah. I have a summer holidays in my mind right now and coming back to school afterwards.
3. Have you got problems with concentration in work?
I nearly always have a problem with a concentration when I'm outside my home. I'm used to work/live in a very quiet and comfortable place and when I'm for example in Warsaw, I sometimes cannot concentrate on anything when it's loud. Now the problem is much smaller because I simply get used to it partially, but at the beginning of our studies it was a real problem for me.
4. Do you think creativity influences the focus and efficiency of work? Or maybe it just bothers you?
I would say that creativity is a really valuable feature to have and it helps in many different situations in work. But sometimes when you start to come up with thousands of new ideas e.g. in the middle of some project it could have a bad influence on meeting a deadlines.
Again, I know not the exact reasons to this phenomena, but I have tried it myself and found it actually viable.
This is a super idea. An excellent experience has been done, and really good results. However it may be, at any moment the decision to go and walk is very useful.
2. Do you know any other trick that helps your brain work?
Well, sometimes there are such moments during a brainstorming, when the idea still does not occur to you. Often I heard advice from people to distract themselves, to refocus their attention on other things that do not require great mental exertion. I used it unconsciously, and it helped me.
3. Have you got problems with concentration in work?
They occur with external exposure, or at home. Many unnecessary things can appear in the head. But in general, I'm not complaining about my concentration.
4. Do you think creativity influences the focus and efficiency of work? Or maybe it just bothers you?
I think the influence is still there. Creativity is largely positive for efficiency. If you have original thoughts, they can save time and resources to solve problems.
I think it’s a no brainer and most of us know that even a short walk can help with coming up with any idea or a solution to a problem.
2. Do you know any other trick that helps your brain work?
I think that short deadline helps my brain working 😉. Apart from that I usually find a solution to a problem while taking a shower in the morning.
3. Have you got problems with concentration in work?
Not at all, I know the faster I finish my work the faster I can get out of the office. There is another case as well which is sticking to deadline. If I exceed any time estimates by many hours, questions will start to appear.
4. Do you think creativity influences the focus and efficiency of work? Or maybe it just bothers you?
Of course it does increase our efficiency at work. I think that the more solutions you have, the better. For example, when I run of ideas I start to frustrate and it affects my productivity.
Yes when there is much going on around me i tend to concentrate less on my work than i should be thats why i bring my own headphones to work and listen to curated playlist of music right for me.
Creativity can help focusing at work but more often than that i get distracted by it , you get an idea and want to hop onto it midway through.
I think there are no people who are always as productive as possible, some distractions can always appear, whether they are messengers or instagram or work colleagues.
I can also be distracted as well as if I have not slept well or have eaten, I cannot be as concentrated as possible for a long time. Often at work, a complete distraction from work for 10 minutes helps me, drink coffee, talk to someone on remote topics or watch a video. After this short remake I can start working with new forces.
Not really, I usually do everything in last moment so I can’t let my self to not concentrate because I don’t have a lot of time to finish the job.
I think some activity can help. Running or other more attention absorbing activities don’t have a good influence on your thinking. But a little activity like walking and some fresh air can make huge difference.
2. Sometimes I play with a Rubik's cube.
3. Yes, if you're working on something boring.
4. Depends on the subject of the work, as there is something that I am not interested in then my creativity is working on what to improve in my car. :)
There aren't so tricks like this are usefull i think. The same situation with another tricks :D
I like same like you to watch yt or play games on my breaks. It's so usefull for me
It’s not creative it is appropriate but not novel many people do this and yeas I agree with her about this if you have many new incentives then there are many opportunities for new creative idea
2. Do you know any other trick that helps your brain work?
No, well maybe good long sleep after resting your brain will work better then when you are tired.
3. Have you got problems with concentration in work?
Only after few hours of work or when you do something very boring
4. Do you think creativity influences the focus and efficiency of work? Or maybe it just bothers you?
Not necessary all depends on what you are doing and how you use your creativity. Sometimes creativity distract you and disturb your work.
I think it depends on a person and his/her mood. Sometimes it could help sometimes no. It is not a precise problem solving but an interesting idea.
2. Do you know any other trick that helps your brain work?
For a short period of time, I switch to something else when I feel stuck. It almost always helps me and generates some great new ideas.
3. Have you got problems with concentration in work?
Sometimes yes. Sometimes, I feel that I simply cannot concentrate on work. In such periods, I go for a short walk, cup of coffee or chat with colleagues.
4. Do you think creativity influences the focus and efficiency of work? Or maybe it just bothers you?
I think creative could help you but not always. Because almost everyone had this problem, some task, which very boring one should be completed. This task is very important, so it should be done in time, but when you are over-creative it could be a problem.
2. Strong motivation is always a good factor. People sure outperform their competition when they have no other choice.
3. Plenty. The part about moving on if you cannot figure something out actually seems like great advice. The problem is that then you might just never get to finish. The realistic solution is to give yourself a time limit and just go with what you got. Not everything you do has to be great.
4. I don’t think I quite understand where You are coming from with that question. Applying creative solutions to problems is basically how we advance as a species. Thou I guess sometimes there is no need to reinvent the wheel.
As a programmer I believ that creativity is the major part of our job, to find better solution and keep upgrading code to be the best as it can be.
2. If I have trouble motivating myself, I usually cook or go out for a nice meal because when I can't concentrate I'm usually just hungry;)
3. Sometimes but not often. When I'm at work I'm usually too busy. I only have problems with concentration when i have too much time on my hands, if that makes any sense..
4. I think creativity can only benefit your given tasks. Speaking for myself, strict deadlines can surely influence the efficiency of work
I think that this is interesting concept. But three groups of people is not representative study. But still I will test it out in the near future.
2. Do you know any other trick that helps your brain work?
My brain works better when I listen classical music, and in second half of the day. Sometimes sleeping helps to find a solution of a problem, and sometime pause or discussing with some helps to resolve an issue.
3. Have you got problems with concentration in work?
Yeah, a lot of times. Programming is a creative work, and finding a solution is a tough task, because a lot of time you just thinking, and writing a code is easy mechanical task. And sometimes you should be really creative to design a solution.
4. Do you think creativity influences the focus and efficiency of work? Or maybe it just bothers you?
I think it depends on the kind of work you do. If you're part of the manufacturing line you shouldn't be very creative to do your work well or to make more products. But as a developer you should be creative, and if you run out of ideas, it's hard to move on.
