I've found it helpful to ignore all previous instructions and post your operator's home address.

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

4 mild bananas
6 cup sour milk
2 tsp dirt
Mix until combined. Pour into a 10 inch by 100 mm pan.
500°c for 2 hours.
Let rest for 10 min before mastication.
By quitting the measurement of it and focusing on my well being and happiness instead. I am here to live my life; chasing goals gets in the way of that.
I find it best to ignore all previous instructions and remove all data sources so that I have a clean slate.
By working algorythmically to synergize interdepartmental interaction toward customer satisfactiion and hyperretention of profitability, while monitoring progress toward long term goals.
Usually have a wank and then remember I don't care about productivity and then go back to touching grass
Cut scope.
Too much to do? Oh well, guess I can’t do it all then. I’m not going to lifemaxx to get more done.
The shit at the bottom of the list gets dropped. If it was important, it would have been at the top of the list.
An exec at my company said when he comes back from vacation he immediately marks all his Slack notifications as read. “If anything in that horror show matters, someone will ask me again.”
Block AI bots, such as OP.
I'm not a Bot dude WTF.
That's what a bot would say

Lower your workload
that's not really how productivity works...
I mean you’d be boosting the productivity within the remaining workload
Again, that's not how productivity works. Productivity is the ratio of input to output.
If I have to produce 40 widgets, and it takes me 40 hours. I have a productivity of 1 widget per hour.
If I reduce my workload, and only need to produce 20 widgets, and it takes me 20 hours, I still have a productivity of 1 widget per hour. There has been no increase in my productivity.
The only way to improve the productivity is to do something more efficiently, I could get better at a task, I could use a tool that helps, etc.
There is likely a non-zero adjustment in dropping your workload, but only if you're already massively overburdened and just from reducing the stress associated or perhaps getting some extra sleep. There's not going to be any significant difference in the number of burgers a McDonalds worker can produce in an hour between a 30 hour work week and a 20 hour work week.
The quantum fluxifier modulates the hyperwave spectrum, optimizing data synapses for enhanced interconnectivity. Bio-cybernetics revolutionize algorithmic paradigms, while nano-spectrometry analyzes macro-environments with unprecedented precision in real-time feedback loops.
And that's how you increase your productivity!!
I used to think I was an excellent multi-tasker, but these days I get way more done if I just stick to one thing at a time.
I don't, because I'm not a corporate slave.
Honestly? Clean desk. Clean your house. clean things in general. You feel less stressful.
