At the most basic level, your brain needs 4 things in order to thriveNutritionOxygenInformationLoveNutritionWhen a man makes his thoughts pure, he no longer desires impure food. - James AllenThe quality of food you put into your body matters. You become what you consume, literally.The best foods for brain health includeNuts and seeds - particularly almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seedsVegetables - particularly avocados, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, and beetsLeafy greens - particularly spinach, broccoli, celery, and kaleFish - particularly salmon, sardines, and tunaBerries - particularly blueberries, strawberr ies, and acai berriesSpices - particularly cinnamon, sage, thyme, and turmericHealthy fats - particularly coconut oil and olive oilDark chocolate - one of the only foods shown to acutely boost mood, focus, and alertness, according to a University of Nottingham studyHealthy grains - University of Toronto researchers recently determined that eating carbohydrate-rich foods like oatmeal is equivalent to a shot of glucose, a.k.a. blood sugar, injected into your brainThe worst foods for brain health includeAnything with artificial sugar - particularly fruit juices, soda, candyAnything that has artificial and white flourAlchoholMost dairyOxygenBack in the day, the majority of exercise studies focused on the parts of the body from the neck down, like the heart and lungs. But now we are finding that we need to go north, to the brain, to show the true benefits of a physically active lifestyle on an individual. - Ozioma Okonkwo, assistant professor of medicine at the University of Wiscons in School of Medicine and Public HealthThe amount of oxygen your brain gets determines how well it functions. Just because you breath air doesnt mean your brain is getting the quantity and quality of oxygen it needs to thrive.The brain uses about three times as much oxygen as muscles in the body doBrain cells are very sensitive to decreases in oxygen levels and dont survive or function well very long without itDaily fitness is essential to brain health and having a body that can provide maximal oxygen to your brain. SpecificallyOne study found that daily fitness is good for memory and decreases chances of AlzheimersOkonkwos research has shown that people who exercise have greater brain volume in areas of the brain associated with reasoning and executive function. In an interview with TIME, he stated, Weve done a series of studies showing that increased aerobic capacity boosts brain structure, function and cognition, he says, Other people have found exercise can improve mood.Aerobic exercise, like running and swimming, appears to be best for brain health since these increase your heart rate, which means the body pumps more blood to the brain, says Okonkwo. But strength training, like weight lifting, may also bring benefits to the brain by increasing heart rate.InformationYour brain needs information to process in order to continually develop new connections. If the brain isnt firing, its elend wiring, and this ages it.If you dont use your brain, you lose it very quickly. Memory fades and reality becomes less clear and compelling.The problem with most of the information people consume is that it is repetitive and low quality - like putting junk in your car, it doesnt help your brain function well, but actually damages it long-term. For example, scanning Facebook or passively scanning articles like this one dont challenge the brain enough.In order for your brain to thrive, you need to continually give it higher quality information, which is often above your cogn itive level. You also want to learn actively, which means youre taking notes and linking what youre learning in your memory through visualization.Your memory is entirely based on connection and imagination. So when youre learning something new, you want to be very active and imaginative with that information. You want to link what youre learning with as many other things as possible. The more visual and exaggerated you are with how you approach new information, the more memorable it will be. As you change your memory, you change yourself. Thus, learning is not about retaining or storing information, but rather, it is about reframing your entire paradigm.Thus, the purpose of information is not simply to put more information into the existing mental model you currently have. True learning is emotional and imaginative - thus, it is intended to reframe your entire mental model. If you dont see and operate differently in the world, you didnt change.Change is very, very good for the brai n. Its one of the best ways to anti-age your brain and keep it healthy. Doing the saatkorn things over and over and not continually pushing and expanding your mindset and mental model is very bad for the brain. It trains your brain to be lazy. It keeps you stuck in a limiting identity and with an aging and decaying brain.See the world differently every day.Learn something new that changes how you view the world every day.This is how you heal your brain, keep it young, and keep it healthy.LoveLove is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for menschenfreundlich weaknesses. - Ann LandersResearch has shown that babies who dont receive love can die. Oxygen and nutrition arent enough. The brain thrives on physical touch and emotional connection.For over 75 years, Harvards Grant and Glueck study has tracked the physical and emoti onal health of two groups456 poor people in Boston from 1939 to 2014 (the Grant Study)268 graduates from Harvards classes of 19391944 (the Glueck study)After following these groups and testing them (e.g., blood samples, brain scans) for several decades, the findings have been compiled.Heres the conclusionThe clearest message that we get from this 75-year study is this Good relationships keep us happier and healthier. Period. - Robert Waldinger, director of the Harvard Study of Adult DevelopmentAs Melanie Curtin reported on Inc., The biggest predictor of your happiness and fulfillment overall in life is, basically, love.Although the Harvard study lays the foundation, there is other compelling research on the importance of human relationships.This meta analysis showed a 50% increased likelihood of survival for participants with stronger social relationships. Put simply, if you have healthy relationships, your chances of survival increase by 50%.The most loving and deep relationships a re built on a very simple foundation giving and gratitude.When the focus is on what you can give, rather than what you can get, the relationship becomes a gift to both of you.Theres no holding back.No keeping score.Only in such relationships can you be fully present to the moment and fully un-inhibited in the expression of your love.- - - Every single day, you needgood nutritionoxygeninformationand love.Without these, your brain and soul will not thrive, but instead will shrivel and die. These are the basics that you should build your day around.The rest of this article focuses on prioritization and productivity.If you are intentional and strategic, you can achieve more in one day than most people achieve in a week.Even more, if youre clear about what you want, you can make enormous progress, daily, toward important goals. Making clear and powerful progress daily is more than many people can say theyve done in years.Many if not most people are not pointing their life in a desired direction. They are in jobs and relationships they hate. Put simply, they are climbing a ladder that is facing the wrong wall. As bestselling author, Ryan Holiday has said, This is a fundamental irony of most peoples lives. They dont quite know what they want to do with their lives. Yet they are very active.Thus, if you can make tangible progress in a desired direction every single day, youll be living far more powerfully and intentionally than most of the population.If you can add productivity and courage to your day, you can radically transform your whole life in a matter of a few short years.For the remainder of this article, Ill coverSetting yourself up for success the evening beforeHaving an optimal morning routineAnd living daily such that youre continually expanding both inside and outside as a personUse Ernest Hemingways evening routine for maximized creativity and productivityThe best way is always to stop when you are going good and when you know what will happen next. If you do that every day you will never be stuck That way your subconscious will work on it all the time. But if you think about it consciously or worry about it you will kill it and your brain will be tired before you start. - Ernest HemingwayApparently, Ernest Hemingway would stop his writing sessions mid-sentence. He did this for a few reasonsSo that his subconscious would continue chewing-on the ideaSo that when he started writing again the next day, he didnt have to start from scratch, but could continue where he left off (already with a sense of momentum )Your evening routine doesnt need to be long. But like Hemingway, its good to know exactly what youre going to do when you wake up. Its good to have done even just a little bit of work so that you have somewhere to pick-up when you first get started.Facing a leer slate first thing in the morning can be difficult. If you take just a few minutes to consider what youre first going to do, and even give a minute or two of thought a s to what that will involve, then you dont have to start from scratch.Pull out your journal just before bed and write down the first few things youre going to do the next morning. Then, as it relates to the first task or project, write down a few ideas related to that thing.Your brain is far more creative in the morning and far more analytical at night. Use your analytical evening strength to provide a simple plan and starting-point so your creative morning brain can run wild when you first wake up.Theres one more side-benefit to creating a runway for your next morning. As Hemingway stated, your subconscious will then be able to focus on and make important connections while you sleep. Thomas Edison did this himself, which is why he was such a prolific and productive creative person (something rare, indeed). He actually had a process. In his own words, Never go to sleep without a request to your subconscious.- - - This morning routine will save you 20+ hours per weekTypically, we h ave a window of about three hours where were really, really focused. Were able to have some strong contributions in terms of planning, in terms of thinking, in terms of speaking well, - Dr. Rod Friedman told Harvard Business ReviewAccording to psychologist Ron Friedman, the first three hours of your day are your most precious for maximized productivity.This makes sense on several levels. Lets start with sleep. Research confirms the brain, specifically the prefrontal cortex, is most active and readily creative immediately following sleep. Your subconscious mind has been loosely mind-wandering while you slept, making contextual and temporal connections.So, immediately following sleep, your mind is most readily active to do thoughtful work.On a different level, the science of willpower and self-control confirm that your willpower - or energy levels - are strongest immediately following sleep. The longer you go throughout your day, the less willpower you have. In other words, you expe rience decision fatigue throughout your day.So, your brain is most attuned first thing in the morning, and so are your energy levels. Consequently, the best time to do your best work is during the first three hours of your day.During your morning time, you want to do a few important thingsSuper-hydration - drink 2040 ounces of water - this will wake you up, making you more alert (your brain needs oxygen to function well)Pull out your journal and begin writingCreate a mind-map of your ideal selfWrite about the top 1-3 things you want to achieve that dayThe purpose of this 10-30 minute morning journal session is to reframe yourself as the person you want to become. You want to put yourself into a peak and heightened state where you can live with intention.Creating a mind-map and also writing down your future goals is very powerful because it reshapes your mindset and memory. Mind-maps when done right work both your right and left brains because they are intended to be visual and emo tionally stimulating.In other words, you dont want to simply write down your goals. You want images and pictures of your future self and dreams to be in your face. The more imaginative, emotional, and exaggerated, the more they will become real to you the more theyll shape your memory and identity.Every day, you should write down and visualize your future self and dreams. Then, you want to be results-oriented throughout your day in order to achieve those dreams as fast as possible.When you begin your day right, you start with confidence and momentum. Little wins in the morning lead to big wins throughout your day and throughout your life.Start right, end right.Start with vision and focus and youll be moving in a clear direction, rather than aimlessly moving without direction.After youve put yourself into a peak and intentional state, its good to begin working on the project you left undone or created a simple plan for the night before.If you work on your most important work first th ing in the morning and without distraction, youll make progress daily. Over enough time, youll have made HUGE progress. This is what Darren Hardy calls The Compound Effect. As he stated, Its not the big things that add up in the end its the hundreds, thousands, or millions of little things that separate the ordinary from the extraordinary.After youve emotionally and imaginatively created and experienced your future vision, and after youve done your most important and creative work, then its time to get the body moving. Its time to workout and give your brain a little bit of a break But also, as you exercise, youre also giving your brain a HUGE boost, which will provide you with tons of energy and cognitive ability for the rest of your dayIf your 3-5 hours before your workout were focused, you could probably be done for the day. Youll have made more progress in your morning than many people make in weeks or months.- - - Use forcing functions to become results-focusedWherever you ar e, make sure youre there. - Dan SullivanIf youre like most people, your workday is a blend of low-velocity work mixed with continual distraction (e.g., social media and email).Most peoples working time is not done at peak performance levels. When most people are working, they do so in a relaxed fashion. Makes sense, they have plenty of time to get it done.However, when you are results-oriented, rather than being busy, youre 100 percent on when youre working and 100 percent off when youre not. Why do anything half-way? If youre going to work, youre going to work.To get the best results in your fitness, research has found that shorter but more intensive exercise is more effective than longer drawn-out exercise.The concept is simple Intensive activity followed by high quality rest and recovery.Most of the growth actually comes during the recovery process. However, the only way to truly recover is by actually pushing yourself to exhaustion during the workout.The same concept applies to work. The best work happens in short intensive spurts. By short, Im talking 1-3 hours. But this must be Deep Work, with no distractions, just like an intensive workout is non-stop. Interestingly, your best work - which for most people is thinking - will actually happen while youre away from your work, recovering.In one study, only 16 percent of respondents reported getting creative insight while at work. Ideas generally came while the person was at home, in transportation, or during recreational activity. The most creative ideas arent going to come while sitting in front of your monitor, says Scott Birnbaum, a vice president of Samsung Semiconductor.The reason for this is simple. When youre working directly on a task, your mind is tightly focused on the problem at hand (i.e., direct reflection). Conversely, when youre not working, your mind loosely wanders (i.e., indirect reflection).While driving or doing some other form of recreation, the external stimuli in your environment (li ke the buildings or other landscapes around you) subconsciously prompt memories and other thoughts. Because your mind is wandering both contextually (on different subjects) and temporally between past, present, and future, your brain will make distant and distinct connections related to the problem youre trying to solve (eureka)Case in point when youre working, be at work. When youre not working, stop working. By taking your mind off work and actually recovering, youll get creative breakthroughs related to your work.You can ensure that youre fully present in what youre doing by applying a concept known as forcing functions. According to entrepreneur, Dan MartellA forcing function is any task, activity or event that forces you to take action and produce a result. I believe the best way to work is to put ourselves into a position to execute. Essentially, forcing us to complete a task.Forcing functions are situational factors you put into place to ensure you succeed. In other words, yo u want to set up your environment so that your default and subconscious behavior is what you want it to be. You also want to set things up so that self-sabotage is difficult.Here are a few examplesWhen youre done with work, leave your phone at your office (this will force you to be present when youre home)Remove all unhealthy food from your house (make one decision that frees your mind from having to consciously control or suppress your behavior)Work at a library and leave your laptop charger at home (so you only have a few hours to work until your computer dies)Set short timelines (To achieve great things you need 1) a plan, and 2) not enough time - Meg Jay TED talk)High investment - when you begin investing money into a goal, you immediately become emotionally committedDo at least one thing daily that terrifies youA persons success in life can usually be measured by the number of uncomfortable conversations he or she is willing to have. - Tim FerrissBut you dont have to constant ly be battling your fears. Actually, Darren Hardy has said that you can be a coward 99.9305556% of the time (to be exact). You only need to be courageous for 20 seconds at a time.Twenty seconds of fear is all you need. If you courageously confront fear for 20 seconds every single day, before you know it, youll be in a different socio-economic and social situation.According to Wayne Gretzky, the best hockey player of all time, You miss 100% of the shots you dont take.Make that call.Ask that question.Pitch that idea.Post that video.Reach out to that potential mentor.If you do one or even a few things daily that are outside of your comfort zone, eventually youll be living a different life. Although most of your courageous attempts may not be successful, some of them will succeed. Sometimes, youll catch a lucky break. And these breaks are what separate you from the masses.Even more important though is that youll become more confident in yourself. You cannot have confidence without posit ive and goal-directed behavior. You also cannot get motivation and momentum without being active and moving.Your network is your net worth. Do whatever you can to get access to the people you want to work with and work for.Be bold.- - - ConclusionHow you spend each day matters.If you optimize for brain health, priority, and productivity, you can live a masterful life.You can make enormous progress in all that you do.You can create and achieve enormous visions.Every day, your brain will change because youll be learning new things and becoming a new person.Enjoy this beautiful life.

Low Volume Manufacturing

Low Volume Manufacturing Low Volume Manufacturing In the earliest manufacturing, a skilled craftsman created goods one by one. The demand for cheaper and faster products led to factories and mass production. Now, high-quantity production facilities churn out millions of products each year.But what if you only need to produce 1,000, 100, or even 10 per year? Low-volume manufacturing is fairly common in the medical device industry, for instance, as new concepts are tested in pilot markets or in clinical trials before larger volumes are necessary. Manufacturing processes, entwurf options, and product aesthetics become limited as the costs of tooling and setup become mora significant components of the project budget. Vendors are less inclined to respond, and client expectations require more active management. There are, however, opportunities among the challenges.For high-quantity production, the initial investment spreads across the parts. For low-quantity production, though, capital in vestment can overwhelm the part cost. There is a balancing act among desired features, cost, and speed. Using commercial off-the-shelf parts in low-volume production limit aesthetics and creativity.Designing complex products for low-volume production usually requires compromise. By understanding the limitations of each process, an engineer can tailor designs to make great parts with low-volume techniques. In addition, a designer can amplify the part count by making the left and right sides the same or by using the same part in multiple places. The principles of design for manufacture extend to all processes.Educate clients about the challenges and compromises of low-volume manufacturing early, so that everyone knows what to expect. Understand the fabrication volume and select an appropriate manufacturing process early so the design can be optimized for the best form and function. This is generally better than trying to push the limits of a manufacturing technology to achieve somethi ng for which it is not appropriate.Vendors can be one of the more frustrating challenges in low-volume manufacturing. In mass production, more product equals more money. Vendors tend to be less responsive to small-quantity orders unless they are specifically set up for that scale. The key is finding vendors that specialize in lower-volume production. They will be set up to run several small jobs at once with easily configurable manufacturing and assembly areas. However, it is important to confirm their capabilities and process controls.When ordering off-the-shelf parts, try to use parts that come in standard sizes or have multiple sources. If a part is discontinued, another can be substituted without requiring a substantial product redesign. When this kind of backup is not possible, a low-volume manufacturer must rely on a single-source part. In that case, develop contingency plans in case the part becomes obsolete.While low-volume manufacturing has its challenges, it also offers ad vantages. By using processes suited to small batches, prototype and production units can have similar components and materials. This enables early performance testing and preliminary verification and validation exercises, reducing the surprises that can show up in first article builds.Being aware of the challenges involved with design for low-volume manufacture early in the design process can make it much easier. Knowing the limitations of the processes can shorten design time and help with managing clients expectations. You may need to make compromises but, with good design practices and some ingenuity, it is possible to bring a successful, aesthetically pleasing product to market in low volumes within a reasonable budget.Adapted from Turn Down the Volume, by Eric Schneider, for Mechanical Engineering, April 2010.For high-quantity production, the initial investment spreads across the parts. For low-quantity production, though, capital investment can overwhelm the part cost.

Take a Work Vacation Thats a True Escape

Take a Work Vacation Thats a True EscapeTake a Work Vacation Thats a True EscapeIn todays world of real-time technology, growing remote workforces and 24/7 accessibility, boundaries between work and play have never been blurrier. Shutting down to take a work vacation can seem like a luxury. However, just in case youre wondering, wearing scuba gear at your office desk isnt the same as taking time off.In a Robert Half survey, professionals said they plan to take an average of 10 vacation days this summer, one day more than last year. Nearly six in 10 of them (58%) will save their vacation time for June, July and August.Whats the best way to prepare for vacation, one that might offer you time away from email, spreadsheets, calculators, computers, meetings, phone calls and stress? Here are nine tips to take a work vacation that will have you trading out your dress shoes for flip-flops and truly relaxing.1. Plan ahead to take a work vacationFirst of all, put that vacation on your calendar s. Make a list of everything that needs to be handled and issues that might arise in your absence. Start this process early so you can be confident youre notlagelage leaving anyone in a lurch.Preparing now will also help your reboot have a lasting effect after vacation. Take note of any meetings or deadlines, and make appointments for your return to catch up on what you missed. Knowing what awaits you - and knowing that its manageable - will make returning to the office much easier. Rather than planning back-to-back meetings for the day you return, spread them out over a week so you wont dread going back to the office.2. Ask for help from colleaguesSimply put Delegate effectively. If youre a manager, its good practice to tactfully spread responsibilities evenly among your team to avoid burning out one person in particular. Ask staff members to handle your projects while youre away, and offer to do the same for them when you return. Meet with those who will be filling in for you to alert them to upcoming tasks and deadlines. Explain processes and procedures, and make sure they know where key files are kept.3. Consider temporary staffingIf you cant find people to cover you or the workload is too heavy for your team to handle, consider working with a specialized staffing agency to bring in interim professionals. These workers can keep things running smoothly while you and your coworkers take a much-deserved work vacation.WORK WITH US4. Bring everyone up to speedAside from colleagues and your boss, let your employees and clients know youre going to be away. Whether youre in the middle of a big project or deal with important customers regularly, let the key players know the dates youll be away from the office and whom to contact during your vacation.Also, ask whether theres anything you can do for them before you leave. Theyll appreciate your thoughtfulness, and the advance warning might prevent any potential problems from arising while youre gone.5. Designate sp ecific check-in timesIf youre not going off the grid completely and plan to make yourself available by phone during your vacation, tell your coworkers or employees the exact times you can be reached. Review those times, avoid making calls outside of those windows and maintain your policy of not checking email. If you answer only a select few emails and ignore the rest, you could send confusing (and possibly insulting) messages to colleagues, employees or clients.6. Clarify exceptions to the ruleEveryone has a different idea of what constitutes a crisis. If you plan to shut down completely, except for emergencies, be sure to define what emergency means to you. Have a premonition that a particular issue might arise? Let your backups know, and leave a list of resolution options so theyre prepared. If youre interrupted mid-vacation for an issue you deem trivial or could have handled preemptively, your attempts at rest will be foiled.7. Prepare your inbox and phoneStart with a clean inbo x and voicemail, and then update your outgoing voicemail message and set up an out-of-office email reply.Is there anything else you can do to prevent the mountain of post-vacation messages? Most email programs have a function that allows you to create rules for filtering your messages. For example, you may designate daily IT updates to the Deleted Items folder, because the content will be irrelevant by the time you return. Or you might set up rules that direct emails from certain contacts to the people who will be covering for you.8. Clean up your deskMake sure you organize your desk, too - the physical one - before you leave so you can hit the ground running when you return. Theres a symbolic purpose in doing this, especially if you do it early. A clean desk can help you shift out of work mode before you leave.9. Unplug and disconnect - or notThis might be the most important tip Give yourself the ability to truly disengage from work and all your devices. If you must check in, pr ovide specific times that youll be available, and limit your accessibility to those times.Think of your vacation as a mandatory break for your health and well being, and be sure to block off time when you get back for catching up. With the right preparation, you can return feeling more energized, ready to tackle tough projects and prepared to take advantage of any opportunities that may emerge.Another way to think about it? Whether youre a manager or part of a team, you can lead by example in the way you take your next vacation - away from work.So, travel far and wide, or hang out in your own community. Write in a journal, learn something new, listen to music, watch movies, lounge on a beach, romp around with friends and relatives, young and old, or take a solitary trip. Whatever kind of work vacation you take, enjoy the view.
