Productivity & Classical Music: Put On Your Headphones And Get Bach To Work, Or We’ll All Go Baroque!

Classical Music & Productivity. The Mozart Effect Might Work; er, At-Work:
Many of us listen to music on more-or-less a constant basis.

It’s often the soundtrack to our lives and can either reinforce, or substitute an emotional component to the day.

And while many of us would think it’s fairly-innocuous because we are usually the ones choosing what to listen to,

A small informal study suggests that depending on the context, what you listen to may be very important to how well you perform at all kinds of work…

Sleep Deprivation Dangers: Chronic Lack Of Sleep Can Hurt A Lot More Than Just Your Alertness

Sleep Deprivation & Cognitive-Function. Alertness Is Only The Beginning:
One of the typical habits many people have is operating based on assumptions.

It’s not always a bad idea, because we each come from a context we’re born into, that teaches us a worldview.

And life is already too complex, so we often need a type of shorthand.

Especially for stored-knowledge that gets handed down over time.

But those ideas can often be wrong at the start, or become obsolete with time.

And some researchers from Michigan State are finding out anyone interested in both Health & Productivity is making a huge mistake in their assumptions about sleep…

Cold Office Temperatures, Productivity Enters An Ice Age:
In the past, we’ve all been told that changes in seasons bring on various types of sickness.

Well, in addition to all the old wives’ tales about cold being bad for you, esp. going outside without a hat on in the winter, etc.

It turns out a few studies have found that cold can have a real economic impact. Especially in the workplace.

And it all starts out with something Ron Friedman found out about the Campbell Soup Company’s “Misery Index”…

The Energy Project’s Tony Schwartz: Sleep Is More Important Than Food

Business Expert Takes A Swipe At The 100 Hour Workweek:
In his piece over at the HBR, business productivity expert and writer Tony Schwartz makes the argument that Sleep is more important than food.

I guess he has a point, sleep cannot be stored in bodyfat for times of famine.

He cites several informal surveys of his own with clients admitting they get 7 hours or less of sleep per night. -Which he then contrasts with more formal research stating that at least in one study, only 2.5% of the participants needed 7 hour or less.

The Next Wave Of Human Brain Evolution: Science Finds “Supertaskers”

Supertaskers Are The Real Multi-Taskers:
Take THAT!, Anti-MultiTasker-science-studying bastard-guys! HAH!

Ever since the first studies emerging about Multitasking being a productivity+accuracy-killing time-waste, I both cheered and booed, believed and doubted.

I cheered for Focus, I cheered for Reasonable Expectations in the Workplace.
