Productivity and Time Zones: Lessons Learned During My Executive Immersion Program at TUM Asia One notable aspect I've observed when traveling to regions with different time zones is the impact on productivity. Singapore, for instance, operates in the GMT+8 time zone, which is an hour ahead of Jakarta. This is somewhat peculiar because Singapore is situated to the west and should ideally be in a slower time zone than Jakarta. Historically, I recall reading that Singapore adopted GMT+8 to enhance productivity. By starting their day an hour earlier, Singaporeans can begin and end their activities sooner, thereby increasing their productive hours. My personal routine typically involves sleeping at 10 PM and waking up at 4 AM. When in Makassar, I adhere to Singapore's waking schedule but maintain Jakarta's sleeping schedule. This means I sleep at 10 PM Jakarta time (11 PM in Singapore or Makassar) and wake up at 4 AM Singapore time (3 AM Jakarta time). This approach extends my productive hours, albeit at the cost of reduced sleep. Additionally, Singapore's well-organized city planning, strict traffic regulations, and robust public infrastructure compel compliance and promote healthier, happier lifestyles among its residents. While Singapore's smaller size might contribute to its efficiency, there's much to learn from their advancements and successes, regardless of our geographical scale.
