Ill be the first person to say that I love optimizing my life. Ive spent over a decade mastering David Allens Getting Things Done productivity system, and tried-and-true lifehacks like email batching, meal planning, and habit stacking are all essential parts of my day-to-day existence.You dont hear a lot of people talk about the Getting Things Done productivity system anymore. Its Read moreBut I dont optimize my life to get more work done: I optimize my life to give myself more time for rejuvenation.Yes, Ill admit that when I first started working as a freelancer, I put in the time to learn how to be more efficient at the pitching, writing, and administrative work that makes up a typical workday. And sure, I took some of that time I saved and used it to write additional articles and land new clients. But at a certain point, the most valuable thing I could do with my free time was spend it on myself and the people I cared about.GO Media may get a commissionRoombas: Price Matched!

I call that type of nothing-doing meditating when I want to justify it to other people, but Im not actually trying to calm or control my own thoughts. Im trying to listen to them. Basically, Im sitting very still and thinking about whatever I want and enjoying the company of my own mind.I have a bad habit of trying to meditate, getting distracted, and immediately giving up, just to…Read moreWhich means that I identified very strongly with this recent tweet from author Rainesford Stauffer:It also put me in mind of one of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite books as a child: Frank B. Gilbreth and Ernestine Gilbreth Careys Cheaper by the Dozen, which is the true story of 12 children growing up in a household run by an efficiency expert:Someone once asked Dad: But what do you want to save time for? What are you going to do with it?For work, if you love that best, said Dad. For education, for beauty, for art, for pleasure. He looked over the top of his pince-nez. For mumblety-peg, if thats where your heart lies.So, listen: Of course it makes sense to make a bunch of food at once and then freeze it in individual portions, if youre the kind of person who doesnt want to spend part of every evening cooking. But you dont have to use the time you save to be extra-productive at something else. You can spend it staring at a candle or having a conversation with a family member or even checking social media feeds on your phone, if thats what you really want to do.Because the end goal of lifehacking is more life. Not more lifehacking.The following questions are about the article written by Susan Jacoby called When Bright Girls Decide Math is a Waste of TimeComprehension:1. What reasons does Jacoby give for girls deficiency in math and science?In the article, Susan says that girls develop these deficiencies during their adolescence years by not taking math and science in their final years of high school. One reason they do this is because the girls stereotype masculine and feminine knowledge.Rhetoric:1. In my opinion of the essay, I think that girls are stereotyping subjects like math and science to be a masculine subject. This causes them to go towards other subjects like English and other subjects. Usually, girls develop this stereotype is during adolescents and parents need to encourage them and make them take the math and science.6. Jacobys conclusion is consistent with the rest of the story by relating the main points of the essay into one. Jacobys conclusion talks about how girls stereotype about masculine and feminine knowledge and it the parents responsibility to tell them no they cannot stop taking mathematics and science at the age of sixteen. The author suggest a solution in her concluding paragraph by how its the parents responsibility to tell them no they cannot stop taking mathematics and science at the age of sixteen. Also, I think it supply unity because it summarizes Susan main points in a short and easy way that gets the point across the line. Sexism is another stereotype that is created in the classroom that can have social and academic effects on individuals. Research shows that an oppressive classroom environment impairs learning and academic performance for students oppressed with identities (Pitman, 2010). Sexism in education occurs at an early age. While children of both sexes typically play together, as they get older they spend less and less time playing with children of the opposite sex. When students are lined up according to gender, teachers are stating that boys and girls should be treated differently. When different behaviors are acceptable for boys and not girls because boys will be boys, schools and administrators continue the oppression of girls. Teachers tend to associate girls as being feminine and are praised for being calm, neat, and quiet, whereas boys are encouraged to be self-thinkers, participate, and speak up. By the time students have completed 12 years of schooling, the achievement gap has widened. Females, who generally outperformed the males in their early school years, now trail on all subsections of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and the American College Testing Program Examination (ACT), with the greatest discrepancies surfacing in the math and science areas (Dauber,…
