Tim Harford: 本TED演讲的核心观点是，高度创造性的人并非专注于单一任务，而是采用一种名为“慢动作多任务处理”的方法，同时处理多个项目，并在不同主题间灵活切换，以此激发灵感和提高生产力。演讲中，他以爱因斯坦、达尔文、特怀拉·萨普和迈克尔·克莱顿等为例，阐述了这种方法的有效性。他认为，这种方法并非简单的同时进行多项任务，而是有策略地、有节奏地进行切换，从而避免效率低下。他指出，这种方法的益处在于：首先，它能帮助人们跳出思维定势，从不同的视角看待问题，从而产生新的想法；其次，它能够促进不同领域的知识交叉融合，提升解决问题的能力；最后，它能够帮助人们在遇到瓶颈时，通过切换到其他项目来缓解压力，并从新的角度寻找解决方案。演讲最后，他还介绍了特怀拉·萨普的“盒子方法”，即为每个项目准备一个盒子，将相关的资料都放在盒子里，方便管理和查找，避免遗忘重要的想法。
