About the Author Stuart Albert is one of the foremost timing experts in the world. The developer of a practical, research-based method for managing timing in business, Albert has worked with small and medium-sized companies, as well as large multi-nationals, to help executives better decide and manage issues of timing. It has a big role in education.
Even in sort of the day-to-day performance on the job, time of day explains about 20 percent of the variance in our performance on workplace tasks. So timing isn't everything, but it's a big thing. But we're having a much more creative interview at this time of day because our mood is better, and we're less inhibited. No, not at all.
There are a lot of steps you can take. So a lot of the negative effects of the afternoon on health care has been mitigated by breaks - certainly handwashing. Because human beings are not inexhaustible supplies of energy. We need that recharge. And it's - actually ends up being really important.
And the whole idea of brakes I think especially in the United States where we have this sort of, you know, puritanical tradition of work where you power through, where you don't relent is counter to the science. People who - and I've changed my ways on this.
It could be short naps, a short lunch break. Go out for a walk without your phone.
This trend has important consequences, it should be noted. We are experiencing technical difficulties. Sebastian Astudillo added it Nov 11, You also see a pattern of mood that follows the same sort of trajectory where we have an elevated mood in the morning. Calantirniel marked it as to-read Mar 19, You've mentioned things that we can measure.
We're talking about those kinds of breaks - end up being enormously important. And one of the things that I've discovered and in fact changed my own behavior on is that my view always was amateurs take breaks; professionals don't. And it's the exact opposite. Breaks are part of performance. They're not a deviation from performance. You've mentioned things that we can measure.
And I want to play skeptic A little bit here. There was an example that I read.
You open the book with the anecdote about the Lusitania, which sank back in And the why has never really been solved. We know that a German U-boat hit it, but we don't know why the very experienced captain of the Lusitania put the ship in harm's way and in the path of the German sub. You posit a theory that maybe it was about the time of day. This happened in the afternoon. Maybe the captain wasn't making good decisions.
I mean, we'll never really know, right? But what we do know in this particular case is that that captain the night before didn't get any sleep, and he was making decisions - analytic decisions, life-and-death decisions - at the exact worst time of day following a night of sleep deprivation. And he made some tactical errors. Now, I'm not saying this conclusively says this is why it happened.
