World cup 2010: How does it affect school/office productivity

World cup is a 31 days event which is held once in every 4 years. As it is held in countries that are quite far away, the time difference would affect most Singaporeans who are working or studying. For example, the world cup this year is being held in South Africa. Matches would be played at timings like 230am in the morning.

For those who are schooling or working, they normally would have to wake up around 6 in the morning and the matches would end around 430am. People who enjoys watching soccer would sacrifice their sleeping time to watch the match and feel tired rest of the days. Some people might even go to bed as early as 8pm so as to be able to wake up at 2 in the morning. This would defitnely affect the productivity in school as they would have to change their daily routine just because of the world cup.

People would not be able to understand and productivity rate would be much lower because they would be tired and may sleep during work or in school. They would not be able to concentrate as much as when they are fully energized. Furthermore, if they are supporting their favourite team, and when theirt favourite team loses, it would make the start of their day really bad and the people who watches the world cup would be disappointed.

Overall, i think that the World cup would affect school/office productivity in one way or another.
