Reply to this question tried to expert, honestly and with full dedication trudivshysya from the beginning to the end of the week.
Baseline:
1. I have an interesting job that I do not under duress, and at will.
2. The work is not related to physical activity.I advise, make decisions, solve challenging problematic issues, to inform participants of the process, is engaged in providing interaction between different groups of people to develop new projects.
3. I have no boss, ieown boss, in control of himself.
4. All targets are known, but none of them achieved a week, i.e.a special motivation otpahat week in enhanced mode does not.
5. I have a checklist, which made interim targets and results indicating planned, then real time to achieve them.
essence of the experiment:
5 days I've been working as it should in theory, ie,8 working hours per day with a break for lunch.No additional "smoke breaks", rest, workouts, trips to the store for chocolate, mineral water, all conversations with colleagues strictly the case, no more than 5 minutes.Each spent not to work the minute I practiced after work.Conditions deviations from the work schedule was also supplied - not more than a total of an hour a day, all the time is fixed.
Scheduled time achievement - it is the time that I would have to appoint another if given the task of achieving intermediate results to another person.IeI figured out further, there will be enough time others with serious load on the tasks that are identical to mine.Since
I'm almost a workaholic, then overpower the conditions of the experiment I was "enough" just rather easier than non-workaholics.I'm going to, sights, made a breakthrough on Monday, I woke up on Friday.
Generally these experiments I had 5 intermittently, ienot five weeks in a row, and for a week, after which the work force 2/3, but I spent the last experiment with a very strict control is not spent on work time.
results of the experiment:
1. On Friday, I actually did what is called the word "awake" becauseWork in this mode strongly presses on the brain, and the whole week goes by like a dream, it was on Tuesday, Wednesday, as well as on Thursday, Friday does not remember the events help to restore the account.
2. Emotionally it was very difficult to sustain all week, constantly advising colleagues;when you try to gain an understanding of the same, you know for a long time, spent a lot of energy.I understand the teachers who beat children.
3. On Friday evening, you feel squeezed lemon, during the week after work I want to relax quickly, so the legs themselves are in the public house, had to restrain myself, because otherwise you can very quickly become an alcoholic beer.
4. At the end of the working marathon feeling of emptiness, reaction to stimuli sluggish inadequate, the whole reaction takes place inside, and you realize that just infuriates from irritants, though outwardly none of emotions does not arise.
5. In the performance greatly affects the background.Works when in your room is another man easier than working when the room is 10 people.10 people - a 10 stimuli that distract trifles.
6. Telephone communication with the brief short-mailed efficient than communicating solely on ICQ chat, or by mail.With all the arguments for or against the ICQ or mail the strongest argument lies on the surface - not everyone is able to gain shorthand messages, keeping them clear interlocutor, so spent a lot of time.
7. At all scheduled I still invested (!)
General conclusions:
1. Maintain all time, 8 hours of fruitful work, working in this mode, every week, without preparation is impossible.
2. About half the time an average worker is wasted (in terms of the employer).
3. We underdeveloped culture of rest after a hard working day or week, and employers do not consider this point.
4. Now I can guess how the people were doing five years two years.
