First criteria of what a productive day ought to be: no visits to the cyber cafe for DotA. Period.Second criteria: start, continue or finish a work of art! Be it a piece of painting, a piece of metal music manuscript or a piece of poetry, it doesn’t matter. Whatever it is, as long as the aesthetic neurons are harnessed and developed, that should do.Third criteria: comply to certain necessary obligations. Say, pay the bills? Wash the car? Finish up university applications? Stuff like that. I don’t like saying this cus I really hate the idea of being tied down to obligations. While certain ones can be helped (things like studying and working hard to be something our parents failed to become), there are a few that seriously cannot be ignored. Especially since they dictate the continuity of our lives. I don’t want to wake up to a warm dark room and neither do I want to hear my tap make funny vacuous noises.   Fourth criteria: fail in something. This might sound out of place, but a productive day definitely requires the birth of a problem - just so the mind would be forced to reason up solutions. In economics, we learn that being productive doesn’t just mean working harder so that while previously we were able to produce 1000 pins a day, now we can produce 1200 pins a day. Though it is notably still an accomplishment, fat moguls aren’t interested with such petty increments. Rather, to be highly productive, workers are often required to venture out and be exposed to new techniques and methods of production so that with the same amount of effort we bled to produce 1000 pins a day, we can now produce 10,000. Now how can this be done if we, the workers, do not venture out into unknown technologies? Well of course in my example, higher wages and a promotion would definitely be instigating factors. Especially since training is also F.O.C. In our Johnny casual life however, we don’t usually make initiatives to venture out and learn new things since there’s nothing to go...
