Work where your time dilation is higher

Consider the corporate executive early bird.

Someone whose performance and alertness are in their best conditions before the sun comes up. When none of his employees or customers need his attention yet.

At five in the morning, that guy should not be checking email, reading the news, or doom scrolling on social media. The executive should only focus on high concentration activities like crunching numbers, critical thinking, strategic planning, or learning a foreign language.

In so doing, one hour of his time in the early morning will equal four hours of their time in the afternoon or evening. That’s relativity. During the morning, the gravitational pull is being used to his advantage.

And the same logic applies to night owls.

Take an electronic musician who is most productive between the hours of midnight and sunrise. The last thing she should be doing during that time is watching television, taking a walk in the park or doing laundry.

None of those tasks requires a considerable level of concentration. It’s a waste of her valuable gravity.

The musician ought to be composing and editing songs, where her time dilation is higher.

Do you have a black hole in your schedule? How are you positioning your orbit to have the strongest gravity?
