Controlled Unproductivity Can Lead To Increased Productivity!


Has anyone questioned why the work time is from 9-5? Well, that stems back to when labour rights came into the picture. When the rights came into practice, it was understood that there should be a balance between leisure, work, and sleep. Therefore, the 24-hour day was divided into 3 equals 8-hour segments. To achieve maximum efficiency, 9-5 was chosen to be the optimal period to ensure the highest level of productivity. However, this division of time has become outdated. Working 8 hours a day is not suffice and with the advent of social media, people have extended their leisure time by cutting down on sleep. Countless teenagers claim that they sleep close to 4-6 hours a day as they spend most of their time on social media platforms and are bound by midnight texting. Similar is the case with millennials but the problem is not as abysmal. Netflix, working from home and better transport, as
well as improved human rights, has permitted this to become the Norm. In addition, those 8-hours also include breaks, lunch, and lavatory breaks. Hence, the perceived 8-hour work-day is effectively reduced to 6 hours. With both reduction in work and in sleep, leisure time is effectively boosted to 12-14 hours, which is too much. This reduces productivity as people wait for leisure and do not concentrate on their work subconsciously.  

On the other hand, working like it is crunch time is detrimental to one’s health. Working for 12+ hours a day with little to no rest and leisure hinders your productivity. During work, your neurons work hard and if you work 12+ hours, they will go into overdrive. If this is continued for more than a week, it reduces your productivity exponentially and in extreme cases, it can cause death.
Both these systems are inefficient as you are not at your 100% during your work. The total work done will not have dotted the Is and crossed the Ts and will lack professionalism. Taking your time, doing the due diligence, and getting the job done are at utter importance. To achieve this efficiently, a balance must be struck between the three components: Sleep, leisure, and work.

As we are human and tend to overestimate things which do not give pleasure, which in most cases is work, we must overplay our schedule with work. More than 8-hours is essential for work as if we say we will do 10 hours of work, it is highly likely the true work we do is for 8-hours. In addition, it is scientifically proven that we need to let our mind rest and not be sleep-deprived and complete REM sleep cycles. To accomplish this, consistent sleep timings paired with 7 hours of sleep can boost your efficiency and lead to increased productivity during work timings. In addition, downtime spent on entertainment also boosts this productivity and will help make you complete work stress-free and on time.

The Zeta Function Derivation of the Ramanujan’s Summation

Please note that the famous Ramanujan Summation has three derivations: Heuristic (Infinity Manipulation), Zeta Function Regularisation and the Cutoff Regularisation. This article presents represents the  Zeta Function Regularisation proof  of the summation. To read more on the other methods of summation,  click on this . Moving on to the article: In one of my previous articles , I talked about the Ramanujan’s summation and its derivation with countable Heuristics method, infinity manipulation. It was an interesting approach, however, the hypothesis that 1+2+3+4+5+… = -1/12 is a viable hypothesis in many perspectives. For the purpose of this article, I will be talking about the Riemann Zeta Function, a complex analysis method, and how it is used to prove the Ramanujan Summation through a different perspective. The Riemann Zeta Function is defined as follows: This function is interesting as it always converges into a fraction including a power of Pi for even integers (Bernoulli Numbers

Teleportation – The Truth Behind The Conventional Idea!

Teleportation – The Truth Behind The Conventional Idea! When one thinks about teleportation, they think that we will disassemble from their location and reassembled at their destination. This is theoretically possible through the concept of quantum entanglement. Quantum entanglement is a spooky unexplained force that shows that two particles of matter are interrelated and can interact with each other instantly, regardless of the distance. Suppose we change one particle’s composition to that of one atom of a human body, its corresponding entangled particle will also change to that particle. Therefore, if we do this for each atom in the human body, we can conceptually, clone an individual anywhere in the observable universe. All that is left is to kill one of the clones and voila, we have teleportation. As said by Sheldon in Big Bang theory, I will not be stepping inside of that machine as it will just be a method of glorified suicide. A more realistic way of teleportation wh
