为什么很多人更愿意去咖啡馆学习、工作？

在处理纳税申报等需要精神高度集中的工作时，“流畅”的思维处理速度对我们最有助益。而全神贯注不利于我们进行抽象思考。你的大脑过分关注细节，过度聚焦于这个问题，反而无法进行抽象思考。该研究论文的作者之一拉维•梅塔博士表示：“这就是为什么当你的精力过度集中时，可能无法解决问题。先将其放到一边，回头再看，你就会得到答案。”

Just like shifting your focus away from the problem at hand, a moderate amount of noise can shake up your processing fluency just enough to approach ideas from a more creative, abstract position. The gentle bustle of a Starbucks forces you to approach your work from a slight mental distance, boosting creativity—but as soon as the barista hits the coffee grinder, your focus goes veering off track.

就像把注意力从眼下的问题上挪开一样，适度的噪音可以促进大脑处理信息时的流畅度，让你刚好可以进行更有创意的抽象思考。星巴克微微的喧闹能让你在工作时稍微分心，激发你的创造力——不过，当咖啡馆的员工开始磨咖啡时，你的注意力便开始偏离正轨了。

The same is true if a song you can’t stand suddenly starts yodeling over the cafe speakers, or if the table next to you can’t contain their blathering political opinions; as a recent Japanese study points out, sounds that produce feelings of annoyance, regardless of their volume, have an adverse effect on productivity. “Meaningless” noise serves the creative best.
