If there is more than one electron around the atom, electron-electron-interactions raise the energy level.
Off course, everybody knows that. But instead if getting help from electrons like an atom does what can we do to increase our energy level during a long day at and after work? Here is number one of 5 secrets to survive the next day…
#1. Stop being lazy
Lazyness … is according to wikipedia: a disinclination to activity or exertion despite having the ability to do so
Ok - you should all recognize this-, when I got home from work around 5.30PM I did this:
- opened the door (you kinda have to if you want to get in..)
- fed my kitten
- ate a rice biscuit
… and jumped with my lazy ass on the couch pressing the power button on the remote control of my tv.
Now, that’s bad. Crashing in front of tv is bad for your energy levels. If you lie down, you tell your body it can rest now. You’ll feel sleepy and energy-less. Your mind is all like “Dude, you should do something”, but it takes a lot of effort and determination to hit the power button again, get up and do something. TV is the number one time-waster and it’s the most passive thing there is. So stop watching fucking LOST! (Gary Vaynerchuk) - get up and do something! The hardest part is not the work you do, it’s to convince yourself you should do it! So stop reading this blog! You have a million better things to do! Go (but please come back tomorrow for another tip, #2)!
Your right, I should really be working right now…
Good tip! I find this too, I make an effort not to sit on the couch after work. I try to do the dishes, get some dinner going, whatever, but I find that after 30 mins - 1 hour of that I am more productive the rest of the evening, keeps the place clean too!
Buy a guitar!
I strongly urge you to read
Why Good Programmers Are Lazy and Dumb.
In my opinion laziness should be rewarded!
@Tyler staying busy is an important key to succes
@johlero no, no euuuuuuuh no
@Kristof First of all we don’t all want to be programmers.
Secondly the post also states:
“Of course, this is only half the truth; for a lazy programmer to be a good programmer, he (or she) also must be incredibly unlazy when it comes to learning how to stay lazy.”
That’s the whole point, you have to understand laziness and the way it affects your work in order to be lazy at the right times.
