Comments on: Pushing your limits http://nidahas.com/2006/08/09/pushing-your-limits/ Musings on design, web standards and free software from a Sri Lankan geek Sun, 20 Jul 2008 00:19:13 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1 By: Mat http://nidahas.com/2006/08/09/pushing-your-limits/#comment-2496 Mat Wed, 09 Aug 2006 01:10:35 +0000 http://nidahas.com/2006/08/09/pushing-your-limits/#comment-2496 I wouldn't feel too bad. I mean, it's not like you haven't updated this site in months. Now <em>that</em> would be embarassing. I wouldn’t feel too bad.

I would not agree that sleeping less gets more work done. Sleep can be an useful weapon. Lol. Anyway, maybe this all due to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkinson's_law" title="Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion." rel="nofollow">Parkinson's law?</a> That would probably explain why some students who cramp get better marks those who would have prepared over a longer period of time. And also, the fact that some people work their asses off when they are abroad: I just think they are paid better, and so they (are expected to) do so. Time you enjoy wasting maybe is not time wasted after all ;) Hmm… I would not agree that sleeping less gets more work done. Sleep can be an useful weapon. Lol.

Actually I was also doubting whether I have to get up until 2 am to be a real geek. On my personal experience, good sleep can make you more creative and innovative. It refreshes your mind and makes you look at the same problem on a different and easy perspective. I also had the same question for a while.

Fired Sage and, here's what I see! Sure we have to push our limits, specially when you are in your twenties, but I certainly won't recommend Japanese working style. That way you could build a country. But you have to sacrifice few things on the way.. hmm.. say family life, happiness... See how Sri Lanka and Japan sit very closely on <a href="http://www.le.ac.uk/pc/aw57/world/sample.html" rel="nofollow">The Map of Happiness</a>? (Man, do I envy those scandinavians!) But hey, I'm all for getting real - the smatter way :) Ooi, I updated my blog after a decade. Fired Sage and, here’s what I see!

It's always quality that matters, not quantity. There is so many weblogs that are updated by minute, but they do not contain anything that is truly useful inside though.
