Sitting

tags: productivity published on:

Sitting is a posture designed for temporary rest and a permanent ability to work. Sitting and working have a firm relationship. The owner of the factory wants the factory to function. The machines in his factory could only be operated while standing. The employee had to stand, operate, sit, rest, stand, operate. This was the cyclic rhythm of the employee. Every time the employee missed a rhythm, there was a fall in production. One cycle was supposed to get completed in x seconds.

If the world wasn’t held hostage by greedy capitalists, the chair would be comfortable thing to sit on. But because generally the world depends on the rhythm of our body, chairs are designed to be accessories to produce their effect.

One day the owner of the factory met the manager of the factory to discuss an increase in production of the factory.

The manager asked for better chairs.
