The Productivity Of First Class


The Productivity Of First Class 06/10/2004 03:09 AM
With all this technology around, it seems that we're starting to see a rebirth of modern Taylorism, where everything is measured in terms of just how productive employees are. The latest is a study that was probably conducted to convince someone's boss why they should get to fly first class, a researcher has studied just how efficient employees are when they work in alternate locations thanks to the wonders of laptop computers. It appears that working in a hotel room is quite productive, but working in a nice business class seat is even more productive than working at home (fewer distractions). However, all of these beat working in that productivity killer: the office. Still, I tend to have problems with productivity studies, as they don't usually measure quality of work - and don't take into account the fact that "unproductive" time may actually be quite useful in leading to much more efficient use of time later on. If someone is constantly working without a break, they may not function quite as well, making obvious mistakes and missing certain solutions. However, someone taking an occasional break will find that his or her brain may continue working on a problem, such that when they return to work they make a major breakthrough. There is a reason why Taylorism was discredited, and all the modern technology in the world won't change that fact.

More on porting suit-productivity to

12/30/2004 07:20 PM
Cory Doctorow: Merlin Mann has posted part two of his year-end roundup of his project to port Getting Things Done, a productivity book aimed at suits, to nerdy types whose life is organized around technology.
I have had the worst time setting up a single, integrated workflow that works for me. I've flitted endlessly between text files, Entourage, Mail.app, vim, online RSS-based calendars, all-in-one apps, paper planners, Moleskines, index cards, and more in search of the right combination. Each tool and habit has its benefits, to be sure, but I never seem to land on a really satisfying set of apps and practices that feels like it has exactly the right "flow" to it. Most corrosively, I often (really often) blow tons of time ramping up to some new bauble only to ultimately discover it lacks some critical piece (export, reminders, etc. etc.). Bad habits for someone who ostensibly wants his work life to be more productive and waste-free.

Of course, I can write some of the time and effort down to "research" and the fact that part of my work involves learning about new productivity widgets, but I can't avoid the fact that I still don't have a method of handling all my information (and actual work) in a way that I find satisfying and intuitive. Plus I have to admit to some terrible habits surrounding my ongoing search for "The Perfect System(TM)."
