Crunch Time Theory

Ever noticed how we can always finish work when we are in a tight situation, whereas if the need for completion was not immediate the work never seems to progress. A common example is how one can finish chapters and chapters of lessons the night before the exam. While on the other hand if one tried to study even one of those lessons a week preceding the exam, the progress would have been so slow that even the metaphor of 'snail's pace' wouldn't justify it. The reason obviously is the body generating adrenaline which helps it get excited about the job at hand by increasing the heart beat rate, increasing blood flow, suppressing sleep etc.

A possible method that might be utilised 'in the near future' so at to finish projects as fast at possible might be found in inducing a state of hypnosis. This induced hypnosis will help people get psyched about the task they need to complete by making them believe that disastrous consequences will occur in case they fail to complete the task by morning.

This technique could be used especially by people like scientists and writers who don't have a strict deadline for the completion of their work. Yet they face moments where because of lack of motivation or energy(/enthusiasm) they stop working effectively.

Ever watched the film, 'The Day the World Stood Still'? It was a waste of money watching it in the theatre except the how it brought out the fact that mankind is willing to change only when their existence is pushed to the very brink.

Using that idea, a possible solution to help solve major global crises, is to make people believe that the threat is immediate. Saying things like the glaciers in the Himalayas will melt by 2050 or there will not be potable water by 2080 is not going to work. The change needs to happen now before its too late and we'd better start believing it NOW!

In the near future

The Peak Hour Law

In the near future, I feel there will be a time when the 'off-peak' hours will become the new 'peak' hours. By peak hours i mean the time of the day (/night) when things like traffic and the number of people are expected to be at their maximum(zenith).

It will be so because already we always hear people saying that they are going to leave for office half an hour earlier so that they don't get stuck in traffic. Or as to how someone is going to take the early morning flight or train as they are less crowded.

I feel that soon every body might start to do the same thing and so, people will start doing things at the off-peak hour. Thus as everyone starts doing things at the off-peak hour, the off-peak time will become the new peak time. So eventually they will end up in a situation where they are no better off as compared to what it was before.

so my advise to everyone is to just carry on with things the way they are at present!

My Blog:An intro

The objective of my starting this blog is to pen down the various theories and observations I make about life. I start formulating weird concorted theories while I am idle or bored. I then had this idea: How about actually putting what I think into words. So here I am starting my own blog.
