Dr. Wisnu advocates for open science, using open-source software, and making research more accessible.
In this episode hosted by Tia Harmer, Dr. Wisnu Wiradhany explored the concept of personal productivity and the dangers of hustle culture and multitasking.
Dr. Wisnu discussed the difference between multitasking and distraction and the paradox of multitasking. He also explained the components of attention and the importance of setting academic goals.
Dr. Wisnu shared tips for improving focus and productivity and discussed the importance of scheduling and time management for work-life balance.
Lastly, Dr. Wisnu emphasized open science, reproducibility, and using open-source software. He also recommended pre-registering experiments for transparency and unbiased reporting.
