This bonus is granted even when the multi-benefit was not foreseen at the start, but it must be recognized during the period of work.Ī Dave Unit works most efficiently when paired with a freedom- and curiosity-driven model of action. MULTI-BENEFIT BONUS – If there are multiple benefits gained by performing a single task, the startup cost is refunded up to (N-1)/N units on completion of the task.However, it is possible to receive an energy rebate under certain conditions: The startup cost is ALWAYS used-up when starting any task. However, there is a recovery period from 0.25 hours up to (TOTAL HYPERFOCUS TIME – 2.5HRS), whichever is greater, before the next task can be tackled in the same day (HYPERFOCUS RECOVERY COOLDOWN). HYPERFOCUS DRIVE MODE – If the Dave Unit is actively curious AND/OR there are are insights to be discovered and documented, the runtime is extended for up to ten continuous hours if each discovery chains to the next in rapid succession (HYPERFOCUS JUMPING).However, there are ways to ‘game’ the total runtime by harnessing quirks of the Dave Unit System Architecture (DUSA). At this point, the system must reset overnight (8 hour sleep) to restore the Dave Unit’s full energy reserve. With the nominal 2.5 units of energy available each day, 2.5 hours of “focused work” is possible before the system overheats and enters a FREE-ROAM INTERNET or NETFLIX BINGE oscillation state. However, there are ways to extend this productive time! Extending Runtime Efficiency This limits the amount of time that a Dave Unit can be forced to do something to about 2.5 hours a day. After this energy is consumed, another unit must be consumed. For example, if a Dave Unit has 0.5 units of energy left at the end of the day, it can not start a new task under normal situations without overdriving the system into unproductive oscillation (see EMERGENCY BOOST later in this manual).Įach unit of energy provides around 60 minutes of running time (1 hour per energy unit). To start a task, the energy reserve must have AT LEAST as much startup cost as needed for that type of task. This energy is used to power my ability to discipline the Dave Unit and maintain target lock on the designated task. When I (hereafter called a ‘Dave Unit’) start a “major task”, it always costs about one unit of energy this is called the startup cost. Basic Operation in Autonomous (Solo) Mode ![]() Unused energy does not carry-over to the next day. The energy reserve replenishes itself overnight if I get a full eight hours of sleep. How much fuel do I start with at the start of the day? Under normal circumstances, I have a DAILY RESERVE of about 2.5 units of “self-motivation energy”, which is used up as I tackle complicated tasks during the day. It might fit the experiences of people who have “ADHD Inattentive Type” patterns, if they happen to like pretending they are robots with motivational circuitry! Motivational Energy Reserves ![]() This energy is used every time I have to direct myself to do a task. The basic idea is that I have a certain amount of “energy” that can be used to self-motivate myself on tasks when I’m working solo. ![]() It’s a bit silly, but I think it might be an accurate model of how my brain works. Today I doodled a model of how my “motivational circuitry” works.
