Does productivity decline the more hours you work a day?
Any internet sites with actual studies or grafts would be nice.
Yes, the more hours you work, the more tired you will become (you are more prone to making mistakes, to working at a slower pace, etc). That’s why they want to make it a law that a surgeon can only work 10 hours per day (because productivity and mistakes increase due to the lack of sleep). Also, refer to the source below, Henry Ford (founder of Ford Motor Company) was the first to really require 8 hour work days ONLY. By doing so, he saw that his employees productivity increased because they were able to have leisure time, take breaks, and by working a person LESS, he saw that there was a greater return over the long-run–happier, more productive, etc.
***You can use examples like Henry Ford, Surgeons and even Airline pilots–which they have recently capped the hours that they can work each day due to the mistakes that they can make because of over-exhaustion.
Still no joy with Blackberry Desktop manager 4.7 cannot sync 0×3b21
Can’t synch my Blackberry Curve at all.
Deleted Intellisync.
Still no joy.
Think long and hard about buying your next smart phone is all I have to say… especially if you need one for work and your own small business.

Is it unhealthy to derive a lot of self esteem from work/productivity?
I worked full time in a very fulfilling field (emergency medical services) for several years and then took a leave of absence to go back to school. I am done with my education now, but have been unable to return to work due to the poor economy. I have noticed that I am increasingly depressed, anxious, and have lower self-esteem due to my inability to be productive. Any tips (other than getting a job) to becoming happier and regaining my self esteem?
I suggest you find ways to make your self happy. Think positive and everything will be fine. You’re a professional individual who have a bright future. For now, why don’t you try something else like join in a dance organization, have a singing voice lesson, learn culinary, and other stuff that interests you. This is the time to actually do you hobbies and other hidden talents you have. Explore your self and find the right material for your happiness. Enjoy life. If you really need a job then go for job searching but if you’re still in the mode of depression. Better yet look for new activities that will gain more confidence for your self. I hope that help you out. Good Luck!
My boss let us work 6 days a week. My productivity level has gone down?
but I wish he gets the point, what shall I do to let us have 2 days off? Isn’t it against labor laws?
I agree. I had the same situation happen to me. I worked for a major fired chicken corporation. They worked me six days at 12 hours a day. Truly, the seventh day was work too, i never saw my family, this job almost caused a major split in my family and i would have lost everything that meant dearly to me, everything exept this job. Re-evaluate the situation, and if it is not written clearly in the handbook or expressed in the interview process, let your boss know how yu are feeling and about being burned out. HIGHER productivity should be every TRUE boss and successful business’ mindset!!

Is there any book which lists labor productivity for various construction activities? e.g block work, plaster?
I mean how much plaster a plasterer does in an hour, a mason lays block work in an hour etc. etc.
There are many books and even computer programs that estimate labor for various construction activities but none of them are accurate for all conditions, places and circumstances. They all must be calibrated to fit the situation you are trying to estimate.
Bottom line, proceed with caution when you try to use these type of estimators.
how personality affect productivity at work?
Overly cheerful people make other go on stapler armed killing sprees.
