9. Daydreaming
白日做夢

In 2010, researchers published some attention-getting findings suggesting that mind-wandering can make you unhappy.
2010年，研究人員公開了一些引人注目的發(fā)現(xiàn)，他們認(rèn)為心不在焉會讓人不開心。

But spending a few minutes deliberately letting yourself zone out can also make you more productive and creative.
但有意讓自己走神幾分鐘也能提升你的效率和創(chuàng)造力。

For example, one study cited in The Harvard Business Review found that allowing your mind to wander for about 12 minutes while you're working on a difficult task can help you find a solution when you return to it.
例如，《哈佛商業(yè)評論》上刊登的一項(xiàng)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，當(dāng)你在解決難題時(shí)，讓自己走神12分鐘左右后再回神，有助于找到答案。

10. Using filler words
用無意義的詞

Um, so it sounds totally unprofessional to, uh, use filler words in every sentence, right?
呃，每句話中都加上語氣詞，會讓你看起來很不專業(yè)，對吧？

But a recent Quartz article highlights research that suggests words such as "um" and "uh" help listeners understand and remember what you're saying.
但Quartz上最近發(fā)布的一篇文章強(qiáng)調(diào)，研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，“嗯”、“啊”之類的詞有助于聽眾理解和記住你的話。
