Color Me Productive
sartin writes "Forget the saturated colors from The Andromeda Strain lab, researchers at The University of Texas report how color affects productivity. The results have some expected (different things work for different people) and some surprising (bright red is very good for some people) tidbits. At long last, I have scientific proof that the taupe and beige on my cubical wall are not the best colors for my productivity."
The color that boosts productivity is green. Green, as in money. Throw money at me, watch how much more I work. No, putting candy that I have to pay for in the kitchen won't boost my productivity. No, bringing a motivational speaker won't boost my productivity. No, telling me we all have to work 18 hours a day to stay with the competition and that I should be excited about the challenge won't boost my productivity. M$O$N$E$Y. MONEY. Gimme money and I'll work harder.
(Sorry, that little rant's been building up in my system for years.)
