Save time and money: get the principles of great productivity books for one tenth of the price! In this booklet I've condensed the information I've been collecting for the last 3 years of my life. I've been reading books about productivity, blogs about procrastination and articles about psychology in order to fix my problems with motivation and productivity. I have come to the point in which I can say I've won that battle. And now, I share my knowledge with you! I've read Getting things done by David Allen, Checklist by Atul Gawande, Thinking fast and slow by Daniel Kahneman and many more great books. I've tried to understand what goes on in our mind when we procrastinate, what makes us want to make bad long term choices and what motivates us. I've applied their principles and I've tested them in a wide variety of situations. I've extracted what works and what doesn't, what deserved to become a part of my routine and what did not. I can say I know the best aspects of each book and the best methods there are around to increase productivity and save a lot of time by wasting a lot less. And if you get this book, you will get to know these things, too! Learn about productivity tricks you'll apply for the rest of your life! This is a 4000 words worth book of condensed productivity tips. I've made it short because I know, people don't have time to go through pages and pages of books they will find, in the end, difficult to apply in real life. I've made it short and effective - I know that. I know that because I use the principles stated in here all day, every day. Learn how to help yourself start new habits, stop bad ones, gain more control and stop wasting time on useless things. I've written this book because I wanted to share how I finally get that sensation every day: the feeling that I have used my whole day productively, and that I can rest for the rest of the evening with peace in my mind. I haven't written about why stuff works. I've written about what makes stuff work. And better, I've written about how you can tell, too, how to make your stuff work. Powerful principles This book introduces you to a great framework for productivity and getting things done. After all my research, I've come to a conclusion. Everything I have ever read about productivity, motivation and habits just comes down to a principle - the Friction Principle. Applying it is very simple, and you'll experience the benefits almost immediately: you'll start seeing things from a whole new perspective. The powerful aspect of the Friction Principle is that you aren't supposed to follow a set of predefined rules: you just know how to see things in a new way. And you'll just get how to make things better in an effective, new way. There is no definitive method, we all know that, but a change of perspective and a set of tricks and tools you can use everyday will definitively help. A great reference Even after you've read all those productivity books, what does, really, stick with you after a couple months? Not much. You need to review them. Re-read them. And that takes time. Not with this reference: this book gets the message across immediately, and is so packed with tricks that you will learn more than you intended to when first opening it. Guaranteed.

Friction and Wear: Calculation Methods provides an introduction to the main theories of a new branch of mechanics known as ""contact interaction of solids in relative motion."" This branch is closely bound up with other sciences, especially physics and chemistry. The book analyzes the nature of friction and wear, and some theoretical relationships that link the characteristics of the processes and the properties of the contacting bodies essential for practical application of the theories in calculating friction forces and wear values. The effect of the environment on friction and wear is also considered. Finally, the requirements, which must be fulfilled by the physicomechanical properties of the materials of which contacting bodies are made and which determine their behavior in moving contacts, are formulated. The book will be of interest to a wide circle of readers, e.g. engineers, designers, machine users, and research workers, working on the production of wear-resistant materials and working on the nature of friction and wear.

This book describes for the first time a simulation method for the fast calculation of contact properties and friction between rough surfaces in a complete form. In contrast to existing simulation methods, the method of dimensionality reduction (MDR) is based on the exact mapping of various types of three-dimensional contact problems onto contacts of one-dimensional foundations. Within the confines of MDR, not only are three dimensional systems reduced to one-dimensional, but also the resulting degrees of freedom are independent from another. Therefore, MDR results in an enormous reduction of the development time for the numerical implementation of contact problems as well as the direct computation time and can ultimately assume a similar role in tribology as FEM has in structure mechanics or CFD methods, in hydrodynamics. Furthermore, it substantially simplifies analytical calculation and presents a sort of “pocket book edition” of the entirety contact mechanics. Measurements of the rheology of bodies in contact as well as their surface topography and adhesive properties are the inputs of the calculations. In particular, it is possible to capture the entire dynamics of a system – beginning with the macroscopic, dynamic contact calculation all the way down to the influence of roughness – in a single numerical simulation model. Accordingly, MDR allows for the unification of the methods of solving contact problems on different scales. The goals of this book are on the one hand, to prove the applicability and reliability of the method and on the other hand, to explain its extremely simple application to those interested.

This classic work, originally published in 1950, was a landmark in the development of the subject of tribology. When it was first published, one reviewer wrote that it 'marks the beginning of a new epoch in the study of friction and lubrication .... The most interesting and comprehensive work on a single branch of physics I have ever read.' For the 1986 reprint David Tabor wrote a new preface, reviewing developments in the subject in the 36 years since the book first appeared. He has also added an appreciation of the life and work of F.P. Bowden, who died in 1968.

Friction and Wear in Polymer-Based Materials discusses friction and wear problems in polymer-based materials. The book is organized into three parts. The chapters in Part I cover the basic laws of friction and wear in polymer-based materials. Topics covered include frictional interaction during metal-polymer contact and the influence of operating conditions on wear in polymers. The chapters in Part II discuss the structure and frictional properties of polymer-based materials; the mechanism of frictional transfer when a polymer comes into contact with polymers, metals, and other materials; and controlling the frictional properties of polymer materials. Part III is devoted to applications of polymer-based materials in friction assemblies. It covers composite self-lubricating materials and polymer materials for complexly loaded main friction assemblies. This work may prove useful to specialists interested in the problems of using polymer materials. It also aims to stimulate deeper research into the field of friction and wear in polymer-based materials.

This book is aimed primarily towards physicists and mechanical engineers specializing in modeling, analysis, and control of discontinuous systems with friction and impacts. It fills a gap in the existing literature by offering an original contribution to the field of discontinuous mechanical systems based on mathematical and numerical modeling as well as the control of such systems. Each chapter provides the reader with both the theoretical background and results of verified and useful computations, including solutions of the problems of modeling and application of friction laws in numerical computations, results from finding and analyzing impact solutions, the analysis and control of dynamical systems with discontinuities, etc. The contents offer a smooth correspondence between science and engineering and will allow the reader to discover new ideas. Also emphasized is the unity of diverse branches of physics and mathematics towards understanding complex piecewise-smooth dynamical systems. Mathematical models presented will be important in numerical experiments, experimental measurements, and optimization problems found in applied mechanics.

Creating Healthy Workplaces includes interventions that relate the efforts undertaken by researchers and organizations to reduce stress and improve the mental and physical health of employees through positive change initiatives. Those working in the field of occupational stress have received criticism that too much emphasis has been placed on negative issues and that positive initiatives have been largely ignored. This book delves into both the positive and the stress fields and compares the types of interventions each entail. Some of the interventions described target individuals and their attitudes and behaviours, others target workplace relationships, work units and the wider organization. Outcomes such as reduced occurrences of smoking, obesity, depression, elevated blood pressure, accidents and workplace injuries, absence and staff turnover are reported. The factors associated with the success of these interventions are identified and advice is given as to how you might proceed to develop worksite interventions of your own.
