Folks, she's not saying in the video that you should do all these things while you are in the toilet. What's she's suggesting is that instead of spending 10 min in the toilet/anywhere else just scrolling social media, getting distracted and waisting time (maybe you don't do it, and that's awesome for you, but nowadays many other people do), you can utilize that same amount of time to do things that are more beneficial to you, such as the suggestions in the video. It might seem like a very small amount of time, but it adds up with time. At the end of the year, would you prefer to have scrolled through social media mindlessly "just to kill time" for 6h or to have used those 6h for practicing or learning a skill, journaling, meditating, taking care of your finances etc.?
I agree to use small moments for learning. However, not on the toilet. Those moments are for “outward production” , which is contrary to “internalization” of information. So it’s not healthy - so I heard. But you can do all of that waiting for the bus, queuing in the shop, etc...😉
I don't agree with the premise about self-paced online courses. I love your videos, I really find great value in them, but there's such a thing as a minimum time to get into a mindspace that can both focus on a deeper/more complex subject and a minimum time of continuity while doing something like this so you get value out of it. When undertaking a complex issue, giving it 5-10 minutes (do you guys really spend 10 minutes at a time in the toilet?) is not enough to take in, process, and get value out of it. Not to mention, if you're doing this while you're perhaps taking a toilet break from a cognitive task you're working on, the context switch can cripple both processes. But the others are more appropriate for short breaks, without taking up much cognitive space afterwards, I think.
This! We often forget that those 10 minutes might be a good breather for folks who are usually doing cognitively demanding tasks and need to let their brain just go haywire for a little bit to calm down. Although social media is usually a bad idea to get some space from our mind. Instead you can just do 1 menial task exclusively without fitting in everything, for example just cooking while cooking or just being on the toilet without your phone. But yeah she's spot on about the reusing time spent "scrolling randomly" on purposeful endeavours.
Spending time just existing and enjoying something (social media, a casual game, reading something futile) is also a good way to spend time. If at the end of the year you've spent 3650 minutes just enjoying, it's worth it. Maybe 10 minutes isn't enough time to focus on something interesting but no that entertaining, like a self-paced course. In the contrary 10 minutes is great time to just let go and space out from the rest of the world.
So now we're supposed to make the time we use to do our bodily functions also "useful" and "productive"? This infinite quest for self improvement seems exhausting...
I think is a good example of how we are so addicted with “social media” (in general) that we can’t even do our bodily functions alone. We are always complaining that we don’t have enough time to work/study and etc but we sure can find time to scroll on social media…
@@andriuslima That's because there's no good way on focusing while you're shitting, it wasn't even supposed to be like this. You don't require much of your brain when you're using social media.
@@carolinefiorito I think you missed the point, do you take 10 minutes to take a shit? The issue is the fact people spend more time in the toilet because of social media (it is a constant craving), just sitting in the bathroom doing nothing, so instead of taking your phone with you just finish your needs.
@@clau_5923 obvio pero hay una tendencia en estos canales a hablar de la productividad máxima y desincentivar los descansos. Es parte de una cultura de trabajo en la que estamos envueltos que no está muy buena
@@muertango ¿Vivimos en una cultura de no decidir por nosotros mismos sino que somos zombies que acatamos lo que las redes nos dicen?. Un producto aparece ante una demanda, si nadie consumiera lo que se expone no tendrían razón de existir. Creo que todos los que vemos videos de productividad queremos tener más orden en nuestras vidas sin dejar de descansar, si hay gente que se siente abrumada es problema es de ellos que no saben gestionar sus emociones y lo mejor es que busquen ayuda, mientras los temas de productividad sigan en auge no van a desaparecer.
@@clau_5923 yo no soy la única que habla de la toxicidad de este tipo de videos, hay muchos canales que también son sobre productividad que hacen referencia a la cultura de la productividad tóxica
