Mark pointed out the complete list to his Nine Ways to Devastate Productivity post which came from my Life Hack reference.

I feel guilty because today I am going to be charged on 8 counts from his list (except the gossip thing). I am aware that I do become restless whenever I am so tired, who isn’t? It is important to stay fit, healthy and get lots of rest.

If you get the chance to walk into your managers’ room or cubicle, scan what books are on his desk or shelves. Most likely they are all related to management, leadership or any high achieving and inspiring topic. Look at the desks at the staff area and you would most likely find technical books related to their job description. Go around the room and you would clearly distinguish a clean desk from piled-up area which immediately gives you a perception of the person.

Call to Action

Back in elementary and high school I participated in a number of political / environment protest rallies sponsored by our school. Rallies involve days of planning and lots of man hours which needed to be recovered through make up classes; although sometimes, you were on your own to make sure you catch up on missed lectures and examinations. The amount of effort for each protest is huge and as such, our school administrator’s are highly selective on issues we shall voice our opinions on the street.

The internet has created the power to help us become more productive in a lot of ways and one of these things is giving anyone the power to stage daily rallies with least amount of effort.

I never thought about television, nor did I feel that people still watch TV until Steve posted about his 30-day non-television watching exercise. It seems odd but I came to realize it has been years since I watched shows regularly and had it not been for World Cup 2006, it should have been almost two years without TV, which came natural instead of using a conscious non-watching chart.

The last time I remembered watching regular television was back in high school around 14 years ago during the time of Baywatch and Battle of Brains (local intellectual competition); and later I occasionally caught The Practice once in a blue moon. The only time I get to watch television is during an nba finals game (but for the last three seasons I was content on reading the live text report at sports site) and the World Cup which happen once every four years.
