easy, efficient, fun - you can soon apply for job in your dream profession!

unfortunately the part about changing social group is very long, over 500 chapters, so it remains untranslated
(16.8.2017   some 50 points of the part about changing your social group has already been translated)

From another blog: Only nice work is worth a lot

Translation from my blog http://tunteetjatekemisentapa.blogspot.fi



Good quality objective thinking is largely the same as looking at a landscape and

noticing the structures in it correctly.


In learning new things it is very important to be sincerely interested in the

subject: it opens us to notice a lot, strongly, clearly, remembering it well, with

common sense and one's whole picture of the world along.


Already from this one can see that in an interesting subject one notices more and

with better quality, and has more energy, and one so gets much more work done and

does not tire so easily.


Likewise emotionally motivated interests make one's attention better, even if they

were of free time subjects. In other words one gets wiser when living that way, if

one has healthy spirit and mind (http://finnishskills.blogspot.fi/2015/11/healthy-ways-of-living.html).


One can see from this also that if something does not interest oneself, it dulls

attention if done for longer times and so makes one much more stupid, brings a poor

quality of work and a poor work efficiency. Such tasks are often better taken care

of alongside some work that one sincerely likes, for example that a nice work but

10min to half en hour in addition going through something not so interesting,

without giving up good quality.

Learn this skill

Ever now and then shortly after the beginning of your nice free time activity, think: "How is my way of looking at things richer in this hobby than in my work? What kinds of things do I observe more?"
Then when on the road to your work, think: "How can I do my work better and quicker with this extra skill brought by my free time fun?" For example positive emotions guide to better working ways of doing things and atmospheres give as associations new ideas. Please see the playlist Rationality of feelings on my video channel http://www.youtube.com/khtervola (mostly soundless text videos).

Additional needed skill

Once you catch the idea, you could this way shorten your working day to 4 hours a day 5 days a week, if you get paid by the work done and not by the time consumed. If you are intelligent and have wisdom of life, you could in such work shorten your working days even more, but that requires more skill.
Anyway, once you get your work done quicker with more intelligence and skill, you are left with the problem of communicating with the slower witted fellow workers. For that have the idea that you want to communicate in your mind, picture it as a clearly sensed landscape like picture in your mind and see it in as great detail as the others comfortably think about things. Then just write it down or tell it to other in such smaller size bunches as they are comfortable with. That's it! You have thus mastered communication between different levels of intelligence.
For example in thinking work, the new idea may take just seconds to think thoroughly through with good quality, but writing it down may take a half an hour or even two hours, if you want to communicate and teach clearly and friendlily. (The more intelligent ones are easier to bear if they are not a burden but cause only a little bit of not so tirying work with which to avoid masses of extra labour.)

Relaxed reactive body increases intellectual capacity

The body and mind are connected via natural gestures expressing one's present state of mind. If one is stuck to habits, for example concentrated single-eyedly to certain task, then one's body too is restricted to certain posture with certain kind of movements only. Like fixed ways of thinking get expressed as fixed ways to keep one's body, likewise new ideas come much more easily when the body is relaxed and reactive, like is typical in friendly social situations where one tries to see things from the points of view of others too. The thus gained freedom of movement gives freedom for thoughts and so one's understanding becomes much better.
New ideas demand a change in one's attitude, which in turn is expressed as a change in one's habitual posture. Ideas sink in typically only after the body has been relaxed and reactive for a second or two. So much quicker is one's understanding when one's body is relaxed, lively and reactive.So practising relaxed nice sports which have lots of variation and demand reactivity, can increase one's intellectual capacity substantially.Reactive here means reactions that make sense according to each situation and not just messing around without any clear idea of what makes sense in such a situation.

Learn talents for your distant dream job

My Finnish language blog http://nopeaoppisuus.blogspot.com advices how you can easily learn talents and skills for your distant dream job. Maybe your browser could translate the page for you?

An Example: Summer Cottage

If you can spend time on a summer cottage enjoying the nature and doing a little bit of some practical work either outside or in the kitchen or some minor repair work, and either sing or play yourself or listen in the car while you drive to your summer cottage, varied types of music that you like, then you have fun and lots of sensory stimuli from the nature, atmosphere observations from the music and practical work which unifies these three: you gain a way of thinking and doing that is easy going, pleasant, quick to get work done, does it well and uses both intelligence and insight like you on a vacation can better see the ultimate motivation in things.

An additional remark

If you have some difficulty in applying these ideas to practise in your working place, please make sure that these things get entirely decided by fellow engineers, however money oriented they may be.

This is important because people with very different backgrounds often have different situations of life and cannot understand why engineers need more free time than those who work in natural human resources work or are bosses handling mostly human relationships and teaching instead of the dry unnatural work with mathematics and computers.

So a fellow engineer can understand that if an engineer looks exhausted, he propably needs more free time, while someone with a different background might just guess that it is natural for engineers to look somewhat dry, and so they are likely to push the "lazy" engineers (or is it ufos?) even harder...

Thank you! - Please spread the word!

Questions of work efficiency touch very many people indeed. And when computerization of just about every side of life proceeds, ordinary people start to resemble what engineers were like some twenty or thirty years ago. So the life of an engineer is a question concerning the future of the whole world. Please work for a better future for engineers and for all!

And if you have friends who too are engineers, please pass the word that more enjoyable free time and more room for feelings in the future is a real possibility in the tough world... Maybe they would like to get a link to this page and to my book? It is http://workandfreetime.blogspot.fi . Wish them luck!

Thank you for visiting! I hope that you can enjoy your life more than this far...

How to best follow instructions

Relaxing in the nature

Objective fact discussions need communicational skills which one can learn in arts

Objective thinking via atmospheres

Atmospheres

and feelings

Feelings help to answer needs, that is the evolutionary reason why feelings exist.

Answering needs safeguards the ground for full functioning: for working ability and for the functioning of the group and the society. The last of these translates to meaningfulness, so it too agrees with the work efficiency point of view of producing things of worth from which to earn one's living.

Needs are important just the same way as bensin is important for a car. Like a wise person does not forget the need of bensin of a car, neither does a wise boss or a worker ever forget to answer the major needs of workers!
Atmospheres

The most skilled objective thinkers make use of all their observations in their thinking work, that means not just those that they can put to words but all kinds of impressions and sensations.

I call the natural bunches in which your impressions come "atmospheres". These atmospheres are your perceptions in their pure undisturbed form that is the very best for thinking.

Like in mathematics it is typical that you estimate some spatical characteristics of the things that you examine, like "dense", "spatious" etc - all kinds of impressions for which we can find easy analogies in nature landscapes. Those are real observations of what each object is like and what the whole is like. So a really skilled thinker uses them too fully in one's thinking!

How this goes in practice, is easier to understand if you read my short guide to holistic objectivity to which there is a link here. It teaches you step by step what is needed for objectivity and it applies also in mathematics and engineering, even though the guide has been especially planned for science...

You can learn more about the role of feelings in thinking if you read my book, to which there is a link at the top of this page.

All arts increase one's sense of atmospheres. In other words: they make one's observational abilities better and teach one a better vocabulary of different kinds of abstract structures. Having an art hobby, like music or poetry for example, is enjoyable and fun: you exercise yourself in natural ways and so learn to find better functioning ways to do your work.

Work and feelings

The last of these translates to meaningfulness, so it too agrees with the work efficiency point of view of producing things of worth from which to earn one's living.

The ideal length of a working day is max 4 hours

Engineering work is work requiring a sharp attention: one must be quick to notice new things and to handle complex wholes in thinking.

But one's attention tires easily, so if the working day gets longer, one starts to use one's memory instead more and more and becomes like a robot not capable of anything new.

So at least for me the limit between sharp capable thinking work and bored repetitious slow non-productive work goes at the maximum of four hours of thinking work a day. That is the time that our hunter-gatherer forefathers worked each day.

Anything more than four hours makes the whole working day unproductive, while a working day of a couple of hours gives full speed with good quality working results brought by a sharp attention.

So the best lenght for an engineers' working day would be a maximum of four hours.

In addition one would need to ban the same type of work during the rest of the week, because here 4+4 < 4 while 3+1 might be even better...
