“To do two things at once is to do neither. “It’s a great smackdown（失败） of multitasking, isn’t it? Often attributed to （被认为是）the Roman writer Publilius Syrus。 Although you know how these things are. He probably never said it. What I’m interested in though, is _ is it true?I mean, it’s obviously true for emailing at the dinner table or texting while driving or possibly for live tweeting at TED Talk, as well. But I’d like to argue that for an important kind of activity, doing two things at once or three or even four——is exactly what we should be aiming for. Look no further than Albert Einstein. In 1905, he published four remarkable scientific papers. One of them was on Brownian motion（布朗运动）, it provided empirical（存在） evidence that atoms（原子） exist. And it laid out the basic mathematics（数学） behind most of financial economics.（经济金融）Another one was on the theory of special relativity.(相对论) Another one was on the photoelectric effect,（光电效应）that’’s why solar panels work, it’s a nice one. Give him the Nobel prize for that one. And the fourth introduced an equation you might have heard of: E equals mc squared.(E等于mc的平方). So, tell me again how you shouldn’t do several things are once. Now, obviously, working simultaneously (同时地) on Brownian motion, special relativity and the photoelectric effect——it’s not exactly the same kind of multitasking as Snapchatting while you’re watching “Westworld.” Very different. And Einstein, yeah, well. Einstein’s ——he’s Einstein. He’s one of a kind, he’s unique. But the pattern of behavior that Einstein was demonstrating（代表）,that’s not unique at all. It’s very common among highly creative people, both artists and scientists, and I’d like to give it a name: slow-motion multitasking. （慢动作多任务）Slow-motion multitasking fe multiple pels like a counterintuitive idea.(违反直觉的想法) When I’m describing here, is having multiple projects on the go at the same time. And you move backwards and forwards between topics as the mood takes you or as the situation demands.
