How to use our talents based on Information Theory - or spending time wisely

TL;DR

This paper explores optimal resource allocation under a logarithmic diminishing returns model, using information theory principles to analyze how to spend time efficiently.

Contribution

It introduces a novel analogy between resource allocation and information theory, applying logarithmic diminishing returns to time management strategies.

Findings

Identifies optimal time allocation strategies under diminishing returns.

Provides a theoretical framework linking information theory and resource management.

Suggests practical implications for efficient time use.

Abstract

We discuss the allocation of finite resources in the presence of a logarithmic diminishing return law, in analogy to some results from Information Theory. To exemplify the problem we assume that the proposed logarithmic law is applied to the problem of how to spend our time.
