I’m ponding putting this on the office door to add some balance to my professional enthusiasm.

This poor penguin reminds me of Batman’s nemesis, The Penguin (from Batman Returns) who has seen better days…

Use noise as a productivity enhancer

Here’s a ~~lifehacking~~ productivity tip for all of you: use noise to boost your productivity.

The explanation why comes from Wikipedia:
“White noise machines are sold as privacy enhancers and sleep aids and to mask tinnitus. White noise CDs, when used with headphones, can aid concentration by blocking out irritating or distracting noises in a person’s environment. In open plan offices, large corporations such as ExxonMobil apply white noise to reduce the reach of speech, thus, by preventing office staff from being distracted by conversations in the background, safeguarding productivity.”

As for white noise machines, the “studies have shown that employing white noise machines in offices improves productivity by reducing distractions.”

Another tip: You may want to choose pink noise, which has a gentler sound (the higher the frequency, the lower the sound power/intensity) than white noise. Pink noise resembles more a waterfall, whereas white noise resembles the sound of an empty TV channel.

A very good noise generator you can find over at simply noise.

Enjoy!
