一直对Network Theory比较有兴趣,今天去搜索阿西莫格鲁的 NT 在金融领域的应用的那篇文章,去了他的 MIT 主页,惊叹于他的论文高产之余无意间瞥见了一个学术八卦网站。。。于是就有了如下的 quotes:
I would like to be as productive has DA. So can someone give me a minute by minute play by play of his average day?
What does he eat for breakfast? How does he network so well? How does he have time to read the history books and economic papers? How does he pull all his women?
[DA--- Daron Acemoglu...]
One answer:
This is not about Daron, but about productivity in general. Most people just aren't productive.
They wake up late, leisurely shower much longer than necessary, take their time eating breakfast while watching CNN or whatever. They drive to work during rush hour instead of showing up an hour early to beat the traffic. They talk to their friends, walk around the office/department for no reason, sit in the lounge areas at work. When they are at their office, they are looking up football stats or ejmr on their computers right away. About an hour of work is completed before lunch, if you factor out all the time spent checking email and seeing if your thread on EJMR got replied to. Lunch time rolls around and they take a long lunch, spending maybe 5 minutes discussing work/research ideas with their colleagues, the rest of the time being spent discussing who is going to get voted off America's next top model or how stupid Krugman/Cochrane is. Early afternoon, teach/actual work finally gets done, maybe 2 hours. Then it's late afternoon, maybe 2 or 3 hours before they have decided they have spent enough time at the office so as not to feel guilty about going home "early", and once again they start wasting time walking around the office, flirting with the secretaries/coworkers, randomly looking up stuff online. Then 5:30PM hits and they say to themselves "yeah, that was a good day of work".
In that "day" of work, the person worked between 2 and 3 hours of actual work, and wasted the other 7-9 hours doing nothing. Then they wonder why they only manage one publication every one or two years in so-so journals, or worse. They wonder why they are not performing when they are "spending so much time at the office".
another answer:
I don't know what he eats for breakfast, but I can imagine that the guy spends the day really productively.
He teaches different grad classes, advises many students, co-authors with various people (hence, probably skypes a lot), serves as the editor-in-chief of Econometrica (hence, lots of editorial work), gives keynote lectures quite often, and does his share of writing articles. He also co-authors with his wife, so you can actually discount some of his "time-spent-with-family".
深感第一个回复那个人让广大的人们都中抢啊有木有~~~!!!
~~~掩面继续努力去了 ==!
