5. Chewing gum
嚼口香糖
It's rude to do it in a job interview, so don't. But when you're sitting alone, it could be a key to productivity and relaxation.
在面试时吃口香糖是一种无礼的行为,千万不要这样。不过如果你独自待着,嚼口香糖是一种提高效率、放松心情的好办法。
Multiple studies suggest that chewing gum helps you feel more alert - one study even found that people who chewed gum performed better on an intelligence test than people who didn't.
许多研究认为,嚼口香糖能让你的思维更敏捷,甚至还有研究发现,嚼口香糖的人在智力测试中的表现会比没有嚼口香糖的人更好。
Other research suggests that chewing gum boosts mood and reduces levels of the stress hormone cortisol.
也有研究认为,嚼口香糖能够让人心情舒畅,降低压力荷尔蒙皮质醇水平。
6. Keeping a messy desk
桌面凌乱
If piles of papers are toppling over onto your coworker's desk, it might be time to tidy up.
如果你的一堆文件已经要倒向同事的办公桌上了,那么可能是时候整理一下。
But assuming you can keep your mess to yourself, there could be benefits to the disorganization. Recent research suggests that messiness prompts people to be more goal-oriented because we're motivated to seek order somewhere.
但如果你没有影响到别人,那么这种混乱可能对你有益。最近的研究表明,邋遢让人更有目标,因为这促使我们在别的方面追求秩序。
In other words, simply the sight of a sloppy workspace could make you more productive.
换句话说,表面上看起来乱糟糟的工作空间会让你效率更高。
