我们可以更好地使用我们的大脑
在最近的AICD年度会议上in San Antonio, Holly G. Green of The Human Factor Inc. gave a fascinating talk about our brains, and how we can retrain them to work better on the job. While the world has evolved at amazing speed over the last decade and the last century, our brains really haven’t. There’s an increasing disconnect with our brain versus the increasing pace of the world.
Central to understanding our brain is understanding that it really likes well-worn pathways. But, Green explained, the brain can learn new pathways, even in advanced age.
“那些古老的陈词滥调是多么老狗无法学习新技巧。我们不确定狗，但对于人类来说，我们确实知道，除非你死了，否则你可以学习新的技巧，“她说。“你可以建立新的途径。问题是它需要一点时间，它需要注意。而且，我们今天正在运行的步伐，我们不会觉得我们有那么。“
Some interesting tidbits from her talk:
- Contrary to popular belief, we don’t use a mere 10% of our brains. Our brain does focus on about 10% of the incoming data—light, smell, sounds, etc.—to focus on and make inferences from. To prove her point, she had the attendees close their eyes and think about exactly what was on the walls of the ballroom they were seated in. Eyes opened a few moments later, she pointed out a multitude of objects and details that were clearly observable, but which our brains had chosen to ignore, out of a lack of importance.
- 我们的大脑只有三磅，占我们身体能量的约25％。格林说，在当天的早期安排重要的工作会议或在当天早些时候关闭大笔交易，在我们的大脑变得更加疲惫之前。“你在今天的世界中绝对有决策疲劳。”
- There is no such thing as multitasking in a human. Sometimes, what looks like multitasking is that you’re switching between tasks. You can do multiple rote behaviors at a time, but you can only do one thinking task at a time. “You’re switching back and forth, and each time takes a few seconds … start adding that up and imagine how many times you switch in a day. How much time are you actually wasting, by pretending to do more? It’s a fascinating thing, and something that gives worry to behavior scientists.”
- 绿色说一个答案是有目的地放慢速度。每天在不同时间迈出30秒，以重置你的大脑。清除你的思想，思考，徘徊，探索你的想法。问自己很大的问题，就像“我的顾客现在想这个怎么办？我两个年前知道他们没有去，但如果今天是正确的时间，怎么办？如果我能加入竞争对手怎么办，我们可以提供更好的解决方案，使我们每个人都受益更多？如果什么？”
- 确保不断消耗大图片。今天世界的趋势是什么？我怎样才能利用这个？我怎样才能在足够的时间探望思想，填补我的大脑，有一些非常有趣的东西？如果您首先没有收集任何点，则无法连接点。在今天的世界里，我们已经剥夺了圆点的聚集。访问趋势网站，如nodandnext.com，globaltrends.com，Trendwatching.com，Burrus.com帮助您思考大局。
