comment How to keep free from thoughs while meditating?
Yeah, the purpose of meditation is 'peeling' off the thoughts on the surface of your mind to get into the deeper, more subliminal ones.

comment Early birds vs. night owls: what does research have to say?
I'm skeptical on a lot of the research here, because they look for correlation, not reason. Very often the changes in things like productivity is because you're much less likely to get interrupted/distracted at night.

I'll vouch that workflowy meets all of the above specs. It's been my alternative to notepad all this time.

comment How long after you drink coffee before it starts being useful
Good answer, but agree with @xmjx as well. Some people drink coffee when they start work. After about 6-30 repetitions of this pattern, the brain associates coffee/caffiene with work, and instantly runs the mental routine needed to shut off other distractions and prep the brain for doing work.

comment How to calculate my personal efficiency in programming?
Excellent tips! Unfortunately, it doesn't actually answer the question. But I'm a fan of the first two tips; the best way to learn is to learn what the best do and repeat it.. something our education-based society often forgets.

comment Which is more productive: doing lots of work in parallel or one by one?
@huntmaster Hey, I multitask brushing my teeth while rinsing off in the shower! :P There are plenty of situations which you do want to multitask, like listening to an audio book while driving a car down a clear highway.

comment Does Noise Help Concentration and Productivity?
A better alternative might be noise cancellation. Not only is it 'softer' on the ears, but it also drowns out conversations in the same way that noise does.

comment How to calculate my personal efficiency in programming?
@DaveNewton Edited to clarify. I agree, it's not a perfect technique, but the vagueness of the question was good in that it's a one size fits all, low overhead answer. With focused effort, you're bound to accomplish something, and an often missed angle is that time spent on difficult problems is time spent trying things that don't work. Story points from agile is good too, but it takes more overhead to set up.
