Indian origin computer programmer in US hires woman to slap him if he looks at Facebook

London, Oct 18:  Indian-origin computer programmer Maneesh Sethi in San Francisco has hired a female at $8 an hour to slap him if she finds him wasting his time  on Facebook and Reddit. According to



‘I gave her a list of action items that I needed to accomplish, and made her promise to force me to stay on task.'
 
Sethi claims the unusual motivational system has helped him boost his productivity from just 35 percent to around 98 percent during the working day.

Writing on his blog, he said he felt embarrassed after calculating he wasted around 19 hours every week looking at Facebook or other social media websites.

Sethi wrote: ‘The Slap Challenge added a playful, silly element to working.

‘It gave me a non-conventional reminder of what I was supposed to be doing - and it ended up being something I didn't want to happen again.'
