The physics of stress-free productivity: Newton’s first law on getting things done the easy way

In 1685, Sir Isaac Newton — a genius physicist with long, curly, white hair — set out to mathematically prove how planets moved through space and revolved around the sun.

Over a period of 18 months, Newton isolated himself from the world, barely eating or sleeping, and working day and night until he discovered the proof. After years of painstaking work, Sir Isaac Newton submitted a 500 page draft of his findings to the Royal Society for publication.

In 1687, his groundbreaking work was published. Widely considered to be one of the most important scientific books ever written, The Principia: Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy, laid the foundation for the science of mechanics through Newton’s three famous laws of motion.

Specifically, Newton’s first law of motion contains useful ideas and analogies that can be applied to increase productivity in everyday life.

Here’s how to use Newton’s first law to get more stuff done the easy way.

Newton’s First Law of Productivity

Newton’s first law of motion states that …

An object at rest remains at rest, or if in motion, remains in motion at a constant velocity unless acted on by a net external force.

In layman’s terms, an object in motion stays in motion, and an object at rest tends to stay at rest.

Newton’s First Law implies that procrastination leads to more procrastination, and action leads to more action. In other words, if we can simply get started on a task or goal, taking the next steps is much easier. But, this is easier said than done because most times, we struggle to overcome procrastination, get started and follow through on our plans.

There’s one common mistake that prevents us from staying productive. It’s the difference between motion at rest and motion in action.

Motion at Rest versus Motion in Action

Often, in the pursuit of our goals, we get stuck in motion at rest, instead of motion in action. Let me explain.

Motion at rest is busyness that doesn’t produce any outcome by itself. On the other hand, motion in action is a behavior that directly leads to an outcome.

Here are some examples of the differences between motion at rest and motion in action …

If your goal is to lose weight and get in shape, researching diet plans and exercise programmes is motion at rest, eating a healthy meal and working out is motion in action.
If your goal is to increase your business sales, creating a list of prospects is motion at rest, cold calling them is motion in action.
If your goal is to write a research paper or a book, brainstorming ideas is motion at rest, writing a draft is motion in action.
The difference between the two is results.

When we get stuck in motion at rest, we make little to no progress towards our goals. Conversely, motion in action produces results and brings us closer to achieving our goals.

Motion at rest isn’t bad, but it’s only useful up for a certain period of time, after which, it becomes a form of procrastination that hurts our productivity.

The problem is that often, we spend the majority of our time stuck in motion at rest. As a result, a lot of time and energy is wasted, with little results to show for all of our efforts. The best way to increase productivity is to spend less time in motion at rest and more time in motion in action.

Here are three simple ways to get things done and increase your productivity.

3 ways to increase productivity

1. Use the 2-minute rule

An effective way to stop procrastinating and move away from motion at rest, is to block out time, for the sole purpose of motion in action. One way to do this is to set a timer to work in two minute intervals. Within those two minutes your only focus is productive action, nothing else.

For example, using the writing example, if you’ve spent 2 hrs researching ideas for a book or paper, set a timer for 2 minutes and just write. Once you’ve completed the two minute interval, you can take a break and return again later for another two minute interval.

The purpose of this exercise is simply to help you get started on a task. Once you take action, it becomes easier for you to take further action and stay productive on the next task.

\title{\bf Announcement 409: Various Publication Projects on the Division by Zero\\

(2018.1.29.)}

\maketitle

The Institute of Reproducing Kernels is dealing with the theory of division by zero calculus and declares that the division by zero was discovered as $0/0=1/0=z/0=0$ in a natural sense on 2014.2.2. The result shows a new basic idea on the universe and space since Aristoteles (BC384 - BC322) and Euclid (BC 3 Century - ), and the division by zero is since Brahmagupta (598 - 668 ?).

In particular, Brahmagupta defined as $0/0=0$ in Brhmasphuasiddhnta (628), however, our world history stated that his definition $0/0=0$ is wrong over 1300 years, but, we showed that his definition is suitable.

For the details, see the references and the site: http://okmr.yamatoblog.net/

We wrote two global book manuscripts \cite{s18} with 154 pages and \cite{so18} with many figures for some general people. Their main points are:

\begin{itemize}

\item The division by zero and division by zero calculus are new elementary and fundamental mathematics in the undergraduate level.

\item They introduce a new space since Aristoteles (BC384 - BC322) and Euclid (BC 3 Century - ) with many exciting new phenomena and properties with general interest, not specialized and difficult topics. However, their properties are mysterious and very attractive.

\item The contents are very elementary, however very exciting with general interest.

\item The contents give great impacts to our basic ideas on the universe and human beings.

\end{itemize}

Meanwhile, the representations of the contents are very important and delicate with delicate feelings to the division by zero with a long and mysterious history. Therefore, we hope the representations of the division by zero as follows:

\begin{itemize}

\item

Various book publications by many native languages and with the author's idea and feelings.

\item

Some publications are like arts and some comic style books with pictures.

\item

Some T shirts design, some pictures, monument design may be considered.

\end{itemize}

The authors above may be expected to contribute to our culture, education, common communications and enjoyments.

\medskip

For the people having the interest on the above projects, we will send our book sources with many figure files.

\medskip

How will be our project introducing our new world since Euclid?

\medskip

Of course, as mathematicians we have to publish new books on

\medskip

Calculus, Differential Equations and Complex Analysis, at least and soon, in order to {\bf correct them} in some complete and beautiful ways.

\medskip

Our topics will be interested in over 1000 millions people over the world on the world history.
