I doubt this is scientifically verified, but this is probably the best thing we can do in the absence of research.
Last time I check out research concerning producitivty, it's an unresearched black hole.
That's not factoring in the reproducability crisis.
- themodelplumber 10y agoWhat I like in the absence of research is doing one's own measurements and then building what you learn into your own framework. Over time you can then make the framework more elegant and find the best leverage points. This is far better IMO than googling somebody else's list. It is personalized to you and is more fun that way, too.
- dwaltrip 10y agoI agree this method is more powerful in the long run. It is difficult though. It requires serious patience, and very disciplined self-awareness and self-skepticism. It is incredibly easy to craft a false narrative for our experiences. Keeping in mind that different approaches work for different people, I do think supplementing with ideas from others, especially those who possess similar self-awareness and skepticism, can be helpful. I've become to believe strongly that relentless skepticism and questioning is one of the most powerful forces in humanity. So I try hard to apply it to myself -- while also giving myself a break now and then :) Of course, the sciences are the clearest example of this. But I think it also applies to areas where rigorous measurements are hard to come by.
