Mike Carruthers: 本期节目探讨了动物的肢体偏好,生产力提升技巧以及摩天大楼的经济学等话题,并采访了相关领域的专家。节目中涵盖了关于动物肢体偏好的研究发现,以及如何提高个人和团队的工作效率,并分析了摩天大楼建造背后的经济因素和社会影响。 Laura Mae Martin: 高效并不等同于忙碌,规划是提高效率的关键。通过制定每日计划,可以为大脑进行彩排,减少阻力,提高效率。此外,了解自己的最佳工作时间,并据此调整安排,可以提高效率。分心、邮件和会议是影响效率的三大因素。环境依赖理论表明,工作环境会影响工作效率。建议采用“成为你自己的助手”策略,通过提前准备工作环境来减少拖延;在任务中途停下来,而不是完成它再停下来,可以更容易地重新开始工作;“瑞士奶酪法”:将大型任务分解成更小的、更容易完成的任务,从而克服拖延症。最后,将AI视为头脑风暴伙伴,从日常任务入手,逐步学习如何使用AI提高效率。 Jason Barr: 电梯的发明是摩天大楼建造的关键。人们居住在高层建筑的原因是景观和社会地位。建造世界最高建筑的频率远低于人们的认知,自1890年以来只有12座建筑打破了纪录。建造摩天大楼的背后既有经济因素,也有炫耀和旅游的因素。在纽约这样的大城市,组装土地是建造摩天大楼最耗时的一环。在理想情况下,摩天大楼的建造时间大约为5年,但实际情况中会受到各种因素的影响。由于远程办公的兴起,许多城市面临着办公楼空置的问题,需要对现有建筑进行重新规划和用途转换。目前世界最高的建筑是迪拜的哈利法塔,但沙特阿拉伯的吉达塔建成后将成为新的世界最高建筑。 Mike Carruthers: 本节目讨论了关于动物肢体偏好的研究,并介绍了提高生产力的实用技巧,以及对摩天大楼经济学的深入分析。节目中采访了谷歌的执行生产力顾问Laura Mae Martin和罗格斯大学的经济学教授Jason Barr,他们分别从生产力管理和摩天大楼经济学两个角度分享了他们的专业见解。

10% of the human population is left-handed but what about other animals? Do they have a preference for which paw, foot, fin or wing to use? And what about the octopus? Do they prefer one arm over the other 7? Listen as I begin with the fascinating explanation? https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-asymmetric-brain/202307/does-owner-left-handedness-influence-left-pawedness-in-dogs#:)

If you are productive, you get a lot of things done. At least that is the conventional view of productivity. I invite you to come and listen to a different approach to productivity from Laura Mae Martin.

The modern skyscraper is a recent invention. After all, skyscrapers couldn’t have really existed much before electricity or the invention of the elevator. But in the last 130 years or so, skyscrapers have come to define the modern city and they keep getting taller and taller. You are about to get a peek into this fascinating industry most of us know very little about from Jason M. Barr. He is a professor of economics at Rutgers University-Newark and one of the world’s foremost experts on the economics of skyscrapers. Jason is author of a book called Cities in the Sky: The Quest to Build the World's Tallest Skyscrapers (https://amzn.to/3yMPIgV).)

We think taste is all about eating – but you really do “eat with your eyes.” In other words, the color of food and what it looks like before you eat it impacts what it tastes like. Listen as I explain. https://zoe.com/learn/how-color-changes-taste-flavor)
