WORKING CAPACITY

Working capacity depends on motivation, objections and opportunities. Working capacity is determined by 3 groups of inner and outer factors:

1.Physiological factors: gender, health, cardiovascular system, respiratory system;

2.Physical factors: working conditions, convenience of a work seat, harmful factors, schedule of work and rest;

3.Psychological factor: general physical and mental state, mood, motivation, endurance, emotional stability.

Basic characteristics of working capacity:

  • kicking into gear, doing work the best way, getting satisfaction from work;
  • volitional powers, a strong wish to succeed;
  • active life position, responsibility and creativity;
  • commitment of creative and physical power.

Working capacity is a variable value; it is closely connected with the changes observed in the human body.

Dynamics of working capacity

There are 3 periods of working capacity.

Period 1 – from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m when working capacity grows rapidly.

Period 2 – from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m when maximum working capacity is observed at 6 p.m.

Period 3 – from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m when working capacity is usually reduced by 3 a.m. and gets higher by 6 a.m.

Period of optimal performance:

From 6 a.m. to 7 a.m. – permanent memory works best of all.

From 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. – logical thinking works best of all.

From 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. - the best time to work with data and statistics.

From 11 a.m. to 12 a.m. – the best time for mental activity.

From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. – the best time for lunch. Food is digested and adopted best of all.

From 12 a.m. to 6 p.m. – the best time to work actively.

From 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. – the best time to relax.

From 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. – the best time for recreation.

From 1 a.m. to 3 a.m. – the best time to reconstruct emotional state.

Changes in working capacity during the week: Monday is a warming-up period. Tuesday till Thursday is a period of high working capacity. Friday till Saturday is a period of progressing fatigue.

The list of simple rules to raise working capacity:

  • to do morning exercises;
  • to keep on an “information” diet (i.e. not to watch TV much, not to work much on the Internet, social nets, etc.);
  • to compile a plan for a day;
  • to carry out three top objectives;
  • to implement the most difficult tasks in the first turn;
  • to keep working place tidy;
  • to get enough sleep and to have a good rest;
  • not to be lazy and to do everything on time;
  • to have positive thinking.
