Effort-Result-Time Concept

Effort-Result-Time Graph

Here’s the deal….The left axis and the line in black signifies EFFORT PUT IN…It ranges from zero effort all the way to infinity effort…
The right axis and the light blue shaded area signifies the RESULT you will get meaning your exam marks…..n it ranges from zero to a maximum of 100%
And this effort/result graph is in respect to time on the horizontal axis….

As you can see, we can put in a constant increasing amount of effort into studying for exams…..But our results will not be increasing at a proportionate rate with respect to amount of effort put in….

At the initial stage, we can see that the result obtained is more than proportionate than the effort put in, but at the later stage we will realise that it drops till it reaches a limit.

And once we have reached the limit, no further effort put in will increase our result….I call this the cap or ceiling….

So in an ideal situation, to enjoy life and to still score the maximum obtainable result for an individual, we shall all strive for the Eq (Equilibrium position), that is putting in Eq amount of effort using Eq amount of time that will bring maximum yield (result)….

With the Eq position, we will reach the maximum capability of our individual self….

And of course this graph/theory/concept doesn’t factor in efficiency….meaning the amount/percentage of information absorbed/understood in a certain period of time.

And one last drawback about this graph/theory/concept is that it is extremely hard to determine the Eq position….

What shall I call this concept? The [tag]effort-result-time concept[/tag]? Bleh….doesn’t sound very sophisticated….Come give me some techno-sophisticated name for this new concept of mine…..Gives it more weight and credibility…. :D

Haha….that’s my 2 cents worth….I’m stressed out looking at people studying….Everyone’s been studying but here I am blogging and writing about this new concept of mine…..

Any use for my exam? Probably not…But one thing’s for sure, I enjoy doing this…..and that’s more important in life….to be happy :)

Nice blog you got. techno-sophisticated name? Karma?

btw, i am studying IT, but not in Melaka branch, but in Cyberjaya branch.

nesh, effort=result is up till a certain limit….at Eq position….lol

that limit is depending on individual capabilities…diff ppl has diff limits….some higher, some lower; but i believe that once we put in Eq amount of effort, any further effort we put in won’t bring us any noticeable change in our results….

[...] heat of the exam period, I tried to plot a graph relating effort, result and time? I call it the Effort-Result-Time Concept. Click on the link to see the [...]
