You’ll feel more energized and give your brain a real break. Play with the dog, dance to music, or something else physical and active. Take a break from work, from your computer, and from your phone. But your brain (and eyes) need a break from the screen and the information input. When you’re working from home and glued to your computer, it might seem like a fun break to catch up on social media or watch videos. Blocking time gives you a structure but allows flexibility within that structure. After a lunch break, you could block two hours for work on your most important project. For example, you might block out your morning for meetings and communication. You “block” out a certain amount of time for a certain type of activity. If possible, use time blocking to organize your day. If it’s a space that needs to multi-task (such as the dining table), then set it up for work during your work hours, and put work things away at the end of the day. To combat that feeling, designate one area of your home for working. Working from home can lead to a feeling that you can’t get away from work. If you can’t eliminate busywork, limit it to the end of the day after you’ve made progress on your work priorities. Avoid busywork and focus on doing work toward the most important projects and goals you have. It’s demotivating to work without return for your effort. ![]() Avoid busywork to stay focusedīusywork can fill up many hours of your workday without providing any value in return. It’s important to turn off the computer and phone and give yourself time away from productivity. A starting ritual or a special playlist can help designate “working time.” Take breaks, and give your workday an endpoint, too. Put a basic structure or routine in place. But no structure at all can leave you unmotivated. And it’s great if you can adjust your working hours and handle tasks on a timeline that is good for you. Working from home can seem like a timeless experience. Tell people your situation or limits, ask for what you need, and discuss the options. Be more clear about what’s going on with you. Your colleague can’t notice that you’re stressed and your boss won’t see that you’re overwhelmed unless you tell them. When you’re working remotely, you can’t depend on those subtle, non-verbal forms of communication. (Perhaps you’re not the one setting these deadlines or initiating the projects in this case, see our next tip.) Communicate, communicate, communicate ![]() Be realistic about the goals, projects, and deadlines you give yourself. The first thing to do is remember that being focused and productive when working from home does not mean that you need to work constantly. Here are some tips and strategies to help you stay focused and productive in your current work-from-home scenario. If you find yourself working from home surrounded by family or roommates, it can be difficult to stay focused and undistracted. While working from home, if you live alone, the isolation can be both a relief and a weighty burden. There are certainly perks (the snacks are better) but it can also be difficult to stay productive.

All the password managers in this roundup use AES-256 encryption, which is the highest consumer-level standard currently available.

"It's the first time we see everything from the stellar destruction followed by the launch of a conical outflow, also called a jet, and we watched it unfold over several months," Mr van Velzen said.īlack holes are areas of space so dense that irresistible gravitational force stops the escape of matter, gas and even light, rendering them invisible and creating the effect of a void in the fabric of space.Īstrophysicists had predicted that when a black hole is force-fed a large amount of gas, in this case a whole star, then a fast-moving jet of plasma - elementary particles in a magnetic field - can escape from near the black hole rim. The finding tracks the star - about the size of our Sun - as it shifts from its customary path, slips into the gravitational pull of a super massive black hole and is sucked in, said Sjoert van Velzen, a Hubble fellow at the Johns Hopkins University in US. Choi on Twitter Visit for the latest in space science and exploration news on Twitter and on Facebook.Scientists have for the first time witnessed a black hole swallowing a star in a galaxy 300 million light years away and ejecting a flare of matter moving at nearly the speed of light. 25 issue of the journal Nature.įollow contributor Charles Q. The scientists detailed their findings in two papers in the Aug. "There are a lot more surprises in space for us to discover, especially as we continue to make huge strides in the technical capabilities of our instruments," Zauderer told. Knowing how often these occur will help scientists figure out just how many galaxies harbor supermassive black holes, what the properties of these monsters are, the density of stars in galactic cores, and how these jets form. "It's not surprising that such an event would cause jets, but it was just never discussed in past publications," Burrows said.įuture research could reveal more outbursts of this kind. This helps explain why the flare had X-rays 10,000 times brighter than predicted for a tidal disruption event: Basically, relativistic jets are focused bursts of energy. In the past, scientists had missed the fact that relativistic jets could form as black holes ripped apart stars. ![]() Images from Swift's Ultraviolet/Optical (white, purple) and X-Ray telescopes (yellow and red) were combined to make this view of Swift J1644+57. This suggested the flare came from a relativistic jet released after a black hole ripped apart a star, which scientists named Swift J1644+57.īased on the wavelengths of light emitted by the flare and the way it evolved over time, the scientists concluded that it originated from matter falling or accreting onto a black hole about 1 million times the mass of the sun, comparable to the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way. "It was nothing like we expected for a gamma-ray burst," said Ashley Zauderer, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics who co-authored a different study on the event.Īdditional observations by several radio telescopes suggested the flare occurred in the center of a galaxy, and that the source of this radiation was expanding at 99.5 percent the speed of light. To link the Swift event to the galaxy required observations at radio wavelengths, which showed that the galaxy's center contained a brightening radio source. ![]() ![]() ![]() There’s a countless number of digital card games out there that aren't Hearthstone, but none have come closer than the ancestor of the physical CCG, Magic: The Gathering Arena.

When a team reaches a certain level specific items tied to that level become available. Players do not level up individually in a game, but as a team.

True to the core concept of the genre players each control a hero, here called a Sentinel, and fight on a map with different lanes. The game is played between two teams of five players.
