Satisfied : PART II

For those, who don't like calculating and equations, lets go with another analogy...
We know that if you drop a marble on slope, it goes in the direction of slope and settles at bottom, such that it can't go further down, without climbing something. (In maths, term is "local minima")

Say, there is this surface, like earth, with lot of mountains and ditches. If I drop a marble, it'll go to a ditch. Now, consider height as opposite of your satisfaction level. and gravity being your motivation. You want to go down.. Simple?
If laws follow well, you'll do what gives you most satisfaction.

But.. and here comes the inertia part.... Say, surface is made of a cloth and marble has weight.. what happens. Even on flat surface, marble puts weight on cloth, creates a ditch for itself and settles itself. Even if it is lying on top of a mountain, it'll think that it's in a ditch.. and hence don't want to travel anywhere.. and surprise... it doesn't go down....

Similarly, due to the K' discussed in earlier post, or our hatred to do stuff, or stay in inertia, although there is a slope made for us, we won't do it.... Easy, right... In other words, if I sleep even till 11 AM, I should be excused.. and its law of nature I am following (:P)

Satisfied???

Well, today was one of those days, when I got real bored.. I mean REAL real bored. Literally, I didn't want to do anything. But, there was always something in my mind saying that, I am not accomplishing anything today, my life is waste etc. etc. ...

So, I thought I should play piano, or do painting, but frankly, didn't want to get up. I was being less satisfied by idea of not achieving anything, but at the same time, I didn't want to do anything.

So, it hit me. Even though I want to accomplish something to get satisfaction, why am I not doing it? Well, there is some negative value for work to be done.

Now, only question needed to be answered was, how long I have to do more work? So, I got up, and since I had nothing to do, I drew these specs.. Have a look..

Here, K is something that you do, when you don't feel good or bad, and you don't achieve anything that you feel satisfied about... You don't like it, and you don't dislike it.. etc. etc. A neutral work... like, breathing, sleeping etc.

"l" is amount you are doing less work than K. and all of a sudden, you decide to do "m" more work than K.

Work(t) : W(t)

Accomplish(t) : A(t) = Integral(W(t) - K)

Satisfaction : S(t) = A(t) - K'*(W(t)) + K''.

K' represents how much you hate to do work.

K'' represents how much satisfied you are in general. So, lets forget K'' here.

Now, T is the time for which you need to more "m" more at least so that at the end, you'll feel more satisfied about your decision to jump the Work curve.

By calculations, you get : T = K'*(l+m)/m = K'*(l/m +1)

To, more you jump, lesser it'll take. Or, lesser you hate your job, your good to go...

But, there is another time T'. If you jump for even less than this, you'll feel.. "Ohh, my life is becoming more and more bad..." since your curve now, is below the curve, even without a jump.)

By calculation : T' = K'*(l+m)/(l+m) = K'...

So, more you hate your job, you need to try it a little more....

Well, moral of story,.. I feel quite satisfied, that I actually did something for some time today.. YEEEEEESSSS..
