Tesla can certainly be placed on the list of the greatest geniuses of all time. He is known for his invention of the use of modern electricity, and he patented more than 700 other inventions. The power that his mind possessed is still unimaginable to many. From his autobiography entitled Nikola Tesla, we can understand that he increased his productivity with the help of unusual habits. Can we also introduce them into our lives?
Nikola Tesla is during his life constantly worked on projects, that have invaluable importance for modern society. But few people understand how did he do it.
We can find it in various books and websites many records in which the authors explain what kind of habits Tesla had. What we can believe with certainty is his an autobiography, from which we can understand that everything is 'to blame' strict rules he followed to maximize his productivity.
That's three great secrets, how is it Tesla trained his mind.
1. Think carefully before you do anything.
Tesla is said to have often said that you are he can already imagine machines in his head. That's why he never drew plans, before starting the actual work. There is no such process of visual representation peculiar to all people, but the basic idea is that you have to focus on the final product. You have to relax and think about the problem in your head.
In his autobiography, he wrote that his method of creation is different. He does not want to rush his work. When he gets an idea, he immediately processes it in his imagination - he changes the construction, improves it and controls the machine in his head. It doesn't matter if you test a certain thing in your head or in the workshop, because there is no difference, but the result is the same.
With this ability should not have been born, rather he saved as a child brain strengthening exercises.
2. Go for a walk.
A walk in the forest has its advantages advantages. Tesla was apparently one too opinions. Even if it was supposed to be his walks associated with obsessive compulsive behavior, he had a few 'eureka' moments just while walking.
One of these happened in 1881. Tesla moved to Budapest, where he was treated for a nervous breakdown. While walking with his friends, he came up with the idea of alternating current.
3. Be yourself when solving problems.
Tesla advocated the idea that he must be alone when he thinks and creates. One of his famous quotes will explain to you, why is this important.
“The mind is sharper and more focused when it is lonely. To think about you don't need a big lab. Originality is the result of a solitary mind that is free from external influences, which can be harmful creative mind. Be yourself - this is the secret of the inventor - because that's when ideas are born.“
