I worked in Silicon Valley for a decade. Here are 9 ways I managed stress and boosted productivity.
- Regina Grogan, a former Google consultant and current Zillennial technology executive, shares her tips for coping with high stress while also increasing productivity.
- Grogan uses the 'circle of control' method to reduce stress. If she can't control the outcome of something, she doesn't allow it to stress her.
- Some of Grogan's daily stress-reducing habits include cold plunges, meditation and gratitude lists for better mood.
- Grogan has learned to tune into her bodily awareness to create balance in her life and make decisions based on her own intuition.
- She tries to stay off her phone in the morning and instead meditates for 25 minutes to quiet her mind and reset from attention obsession.
- When Grogan feels anxious, she takes a walk without her phone to help mitigate the anxiety and remind herself that she can't control everything.
- She encourages small acts of kindness, like helping others or just letting someone in front of her in traffic, to redirect energy toward something positive.
- Grogan has seen the benefits of making a gratitude list as a reminder of how lucky she is and how much she has to be thankful for.
- Epsom salt baths and writing down worries before bed also help her relax and alleviate stress.
- These stress-reducing tips have helped Grogan achieve a productive and creative mindset at work, even in a highly stressful environment.

Google Makes Multiverse a Reality, Really?
- Google launched Willow with a claim of exponential error reduction but critics have questioned the quantum computing chip's bold claims and possibility of parallel universes/multiverses.
- German physicist Sabine Hossenfelder said the tech giant’s claims were not true as stage-managed results might not be as impactful as projected.
- The quantum chipset Willow with 105-cubit has the potential for practical applications in areas such as drug discovery, battery designs, and fusion energy.
- Scientific experts have pointed out the grand claims in the quantum computing field may lose their lustre when conventional computing algorithms are discovered to achieve similar results.
- Multiple tech giants like Google and Microsoft are developing the lethal blend of AI and quantum to drive the next wave of AI revolution.
- China recently launched its advanced 504-qubit superconducting quantum computer Tianyan-504, which crosses the 500-qubit threshold and competes with international platforms like IBM.
- IBM has made significant progress in becoming a leader in quantum computing and AI in the quantum race.
- India is also planning for the quantum revolution and has developed the country's largest quantum computer, with 6-7 superconducting qubits, in collaboration with DRDO and TCS.
- LTIMindtree has announced a strategic collaboration with IBM to advance the quantum innovation ecosystem and create a strong industry-academia ecosystem.
- While Google's announcement was impressive, its practical implications are currently limited as applications with everyday relevance need a million qubits, and we remain far from that benchmark.
