The Productivity Science

 Waqar Ahmed | The Productivity Science Over time we have built our consciousness through decisions and facing lots of troubles in life. Some people give up before their destiny, and others continue their journey despite all these troubles. The former chooses not to put extra effort because he thinks it’s already chosen for him, and the latter decides to not stop there because there is more he can do than simply give up. These are two different sorts of mindsets and we all know which mindset will find success. Surprisingly, these beliefs could be found in a single person’s brain at the same time. It is absolutely possible. Before we jump to the conclusion about why it happens, let’s discuss the science behind the choice of these two specific mindsets. The most important term in this field of mindset is Neuroplasticity. The main function of neuroplasticity or brain plasticity is to give permission to the neurons to change their activity or momentum based on the input of intrinsic or...

 Waqar Ahmed | The Productivity Science This blog is based on the interpretation of the TEDx speech of two great intellectuals - writer Lisa Genova and Neuroscientist Amishi Jha. They work in the field of neuroscience towards behavioral cognitive science and have helped millions navigate their way towards the great riches in today’s competitive and skilled labor-intense world. Their recent publication on the functioning of human memory has provided a great insight in further elaborating the perception that it’s not the memory that humans lack, instead it’s the limited attention factor that makes us forget the most important things in our day to day life. Due to the complex neuroscience of the brain and external surrounding that influences human consciousness, this topic is enriched in content quantity. So to make it simple to digest, this blog is divided into two sub-blogs for the reader's comfort. In this particular blog, we will delve into the understanding of what influences our...

  Waqar Ahmed | The Productivity Science Every time I try to set myself a goal tracker on Google calendar, I know from the very beginning that I would fail to stick to the process for even a single week. And that is exactly what happens every time I commit.  It is normal to fall back over a road bump but make sure you get up and follow the path forward.  Life is changing with the growing internet traffic. More and more opportunities are coming into existence every day, so has grown the competition for the relevant labor skills.  Amidst this information revolution, humans continue to nurture a centuries-old tendency to procrastinate and lay back on the couch for hours no matter how important that assignment might be.  It is okay to take some rest, but when it starts affecting the working life, it becomes a big problem. Many won’t realize until the damage has already occurred. To avoid missing any deadlines while also continue enjoying your life, you need to draw ...

 Waqar Ahmed | The Productivity Science Unsung Pakistani Hero Pakistan has faced tremendous security issues from its eastern border since its inception. Security was a big challenge for Pakistan back then and still today. However, things have changed since Pakistan developed its Nuclear Weapons.  Due to Nuclear power, Pakistan feels calm as the intensity of warfare has substantially lowered down to a small magnitude since it became a Nuclear Weapon state on 28 May 1998. And without the magnificent contributions of Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan and Dr. Abdul Salam, it would have taken Pakistan another century to build a nuclear deterrent to the scale it has reached today.  This morning, the legendary  Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan’s  (April 1, 1936 – October 10, 2021) soul has departed this mortal world; however, the legacy of his life’s achievement would live on and continue to enlighten the scientific society in Pakistan for centuries to come. Today is the moment to go back in...

Waqar Ahmed | The Productivity Science Physics Noble Prize Laureates This year Physics Noble Prize has been divided among three Scientists: Syukoro Manabe (USA) Klaus Hasselmann (Germany) Giorgio Parisi (Italy) The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences committee jointly decided to award these three scientists with the Noble Prize in Physics. The work of the three Laureates is different in various aspects however they share monotony in solving the complex problems of the world with the help of physics. The work of two Laureates Syukoro Manabe and Klaus Hasselmann is related to climate change, how it affects the world today following the continuing burning of greenhouse gases since the Industrial Revolution. They have designed computer models that help measure the earth’s climate and predict how far the environment would be increasing because of the rising global warming. Manabe in his research discovered that if you double the CO2 in the atmosphere, the temperature would increase b...
