How to push the reset button of the brain to demonstrate creativity

ByJohn Morgan

When my life is eroded by my work I often feel guilty about being absent while I am on vacation and often check my email for work. However, it is pointed out that the importance of "pushing the reset button of the brain" as always touching information and moving the head full will deprive creativity and inspiration.

According to research in 2011, according to research in 2011, the amount of information on the present day is about five times as much as in 1986, and in the newspaper the amount of information has been increased to the same amount as 174 papers in the newspaper. There are a total of 22,174 television stations all over the world, the total time of TV programs broadcasted by these are as much as 85,000 hours in one day and 5999 hours of movies per hour on YouTube It is up every day. Including things you do not know whether it is true or false, modern people are as if they are attacking information from every direction everyday.

However, there are limits to human conscious ability, and there are many people who are overwhelmed by information waves.

There are two modes as "important issue network" and "problem negative network" as important elements when human brains take care of something. Challenge A positive network is activated when a person is immersed in a task, and neuroscientists call it a "central execution system". On the other hand, "fantasy mode" called problem negative network is activated when the brain is thinking without taking it, and the two modes switch like a seesaw in the brain.

Thanks to these two modes, humans have made pyramids, discovered penicillin, and decoded the human genome, but existence of fantasy mode is indispensable to intuitively grasp the essence of things. The fantasy mode in which multiple ideas and ideas are tied together creates wonderful creativity and inspiration. Even though I thought that I solved one problem at the end after concentrating thought out, in fact the problem has not been solved in a real sense, suddenly when it is not necessary to keep attention such as walking or shopping An answer to the problem emerges. This is because we can tie in what we did not tie together while thinking about in imaginary mode.

Another important element in the central execution system is the "attention filter". Attention Filter tells us that the brain should "pay attention to what and to ignore what", and it develops to sense dangers such as predators and crisis situations did. At the present time when information is flooded, people are exposed to all information such as Twitter, Facebook, Mail etc, but our attention to one thing can not be kept for a long time. This is the curse of information in the present age.

In other words, the information gained from Twitter and Facebook is sorted out together with important information such as "How to settle with fighting friends", "Where did you put the passport?" In the human brain, and as a result the brain It will waste a lot of energy. Therefore, if you want to be more creative, more productive and energetic, you should not spare time to social networks, you should divide your life and have some time to enjoy them.

You can say the same thing to the e - mail, if you get an e - mail during your thought, you will be distracted in concentration, distracted from what you are doing at that time. Listening to the ring tone, rather than ignoring e-mail while worrying about things like "What is written?" "Whose mail is it?" "Is it good news or bad news?" It is better to put away from.

Also, the fancy mode and the central executing switchIslet cortexIt is already proved by Professor Vinod Menon and Professor Daniel J. Levitin at Stanford University that it is controlled by the part of the brain called the brain. According to this research result, if the central execution system and the fantasy system are said to be like a seesaw switch on the island cortex putting the attention put an adult on one side of the seesaw and the other floating in the air It is to create a state that it is. The effectiveness of the switch is different for each person, there are things that change smoothly and others are rusty and there are things that are not easy to switch, but in any case if there are too many switch switches, like when we used the seesaw at high speed I am confused and tired.

Towards multitasking, concentrating for 30 minutes and 50 minutes on one task, and resting after that, creativity comes naturally. As some studies show, if you take a walk in nature or listen to music, the brain switches to fantasy mode and you can get a view of what you need. In other words, this is the act of "pushing the reset button of the brain".

Also, the idea that "the problem is not solved quickly, but it may take time" is effective in various resolutions. For example, according to estimates medical mistakes are the third cause of death in the United States, but what people seek from doctors is not "to answer right now" but "to give the right answer." Breathing out for that is not a bad thing. It seems that pilots and air traffic controllers are absent from work while listening to it, but resetting is necessary, in fact they often take a break. It is necessary to understand that overwork will lower the efficiency of work firmly.

Biologically speaking, rest is a "care medicine". A nap of 10 minutes increases cognitive function and vitality, and removes drowsiness and fatigue. If you take regular vacation away from work and take time to take a nap or meditation it will be possible to become an excellent condition to solve the big problem lying in the world.
