-The Nap Ministry]]> 2020-11-23 15:57:02 UTC https://padlet.com/peckda/602kjnvbmp8ztony/wish/952860198 peckda https://padlet.com/peckda/602kjnvbmp8ztony/wish/952894562 I actually feel a sense of relief when I read this quote.  I like the idea of "reimagining" productivity because sometimes I actually do feel like a machine:  like I have to keep working, regardless of my feelings (either emotional or physical).  I do know, at my core, that I am human.  That I need rest, that I need to relax, that I need to find joy.  It feels good that someone is confirming this.

I've thought a lot about this idea of rest and productivity when doing this paper, actually.  In a typical year, I might cover this paper in one or two days of class.  But what I keep hearing from students is that they feel exhausted and overworked.  So I asked myself:  does productivity have to look like grinding through something really quickly?  I honestly think the answer is no.  There is a different way of doing things.  

I think it's so important to slow down.  It allows us to find joy and peace within ourselves, and it allows us to be our best selves.  And when we are our best selves... honestly, we can be MORE productive.  Or at least we can produce things that are of better quality.  And isn't that what we want?

A well oiled machine needs oiling or else it's gears start grinding and tearing. The gears can break even if a small dime is put in, but all are not created equal because some can have massive weight loads while others have low. But no matter what rest is the oil that humans need, though rest is not defined it can be anything you need from sleep to skiing, to all their own. ]]> 2020-11-23 16:07:39 UTC https://padlet.com/peckda/602kjnvbmp8ztony/wish/952910118 150013951 https://padlet.com/peckda/602kjnvbmp8ztony/wish/952910230 This quote by The Nap Minisrty makes me think that humans aren't machines and shouldn't be treated as such. We need breaks and rest to recharge and work better overall. It's important for the human body to get the rest it needs so it can continue functioning best it can. ]]> 2020-11-23 16:07:40 UTC https://padlet.com/peckda/602kjnvbmp8ztony/wish/952910230 150021805 https://padlet.com/peckda/602kjnvbmp8ztony/wish/952910306 This quote means that productivity isn't overworking yourself. Productivity is when your pace your work speed so your work can be the most efficient as you can be. It's not went you're rushing to get things done, with low quality work. In order to be productive you need to rest because unlike machines, we have our physical limits.]]> 2020-11-23 16:07:42 UTC https://padlet.com/peckda/602kjnvbmp8ztony/wish/952910306 150019587 https://padlet.com/peckda/602kjnvbmp8ztony/wish/952910522 The quote to me seems a bit too optimistic to me. Yes it is really important to take rests since you need sleep to survive and it helps with your productivity. You should totally sleep when you can, but sometimes there are a lot of strict deadlines and projects that need to be completed. When this happens you should figure out if you can complete the task within the time frame without sleep and if you can't it's better to sleep. But if you can I think it would be better to do that, as long as you haven't been overworking yourself constantly. I do agree that we do have our limits and should stop sometimes but other times stopping your work can be really hard.

I feel like we have all been "grinding" and working ourselves to exhaustion. We have gotten used to having exhausting being "productive" for us. When hearing this quote, I had to step back and think about how exhaustion shouldn't be normal, and that isn't what productivity should mean for me.]]> 2020-11-23 16:07:45 UTC https://padlet.com/peckda/602kjnvbmp8ztony/wish/952910543 150011537 https://padlet.com/peckda/602kjnvbmp8ztony/wish/952911055 I think that the message of this quote is that you should take a break and rest. You are not a machine, and you don't have to work so much. Your health is important and you need it to survive.]]> 2020-11-23 16:07:52 UTC https://padlet.com/peckda/602kjnvbmp8ztony/wish/952911055 Michael_Loporto https://padlet.com/peckda/602kjnvbmp8ztony/wish/952911290 I feel like the quote is talking about how you are not a robot and cannot work forever. So it's important to just go and take a break from school work. So you can be fully functional and work at full mind capacity. ]]> 2020-11-23 16:07:54 UTC https://padlet.com/peckda/602kjnvbmp8ztony/wish/952911290 1500117921 https://padlet.com/peckda/602kjnvbmp8ztony/wish/952911318 This quote is talking about how people need rest and most people are not getting enough of it. I know most peoples sleep schedules are messed up are not getting enough rest. It tells us that we are not machines, and we are not meant to be worked like machines.]]> 2020-11-23 16:07:54 UTC https://padlet.com/peckda/602kjnvbmp8ztony/wish/952911318 https://padlet.com/peckda/602kjnvbmp8ztony/wish/952911407 If you treat yourself like a machine, you'll become stressed and you won't put out your best work.  I agree with this quote because in order to put out your best work, you need to rest and take breaks to think.  When I'm tired I can't do my best work and it's like that for a lot of people. Sometimes, you have to work without rest which can be very stressful.]]> 2020-11-23 16:07:56 UTC https://padlet.com/peckda/602kjnvbmp8ztony/wish/952911407 150011531 https://padlet.com/peckda/602kjnvbmp8ztony/wish/952911414 The quote is okay in specific situations. Sure people aren't machines but you have to be one to do well. Resting is important and work is equally as important, but we should prioritize work because work helps in the long run and rest doesn't.]]> 2020-11-23 16:07:56 UTC https://padlet.com/peckda/602kjnvbmp8ztony/wish/952911414 150016246 https://padlet.com/peckda/602kjnvbmp8ztony/wish/952911541 This quote about how people need to rest because people are not machines. If you don't stop to rest, you'll end up not doing your best work. This quote explains what some students and teachers are feeling now because of the amount of work we get everyday.]]> 2020-11-23 16:07:57 UTC https://padlet.com/peckda/602kjnvbmp8ztony/wish/952911541 150011714 https://padlet.com/peckda/602kjnvbmp8ztony/wish/952912350 This quote is saying that in order to be productive, you don't have to do work all the time. You need to rest and take some time to yourself, as the quote says, we are not machines. Resting can help your brain function better, creating new ideas for assignments and projects.]]> 2020-11-23 16:08:09 UTC https://padlet.com/peckda/602kjnvbmp8ztony/wish/952912350 https://padlet.com/peckda/602kjnvbmp8ztony/wish/952914390 I agree with this up until a certain point. Personally, I've got a lot of patience and resilience, so I can normally do all my assignments in one sitting. This quote just kinda seems like the people who need breaks just have to build up their fortitude to be able to do a few assignments per sitting. I mean I guess you should take breaks occasionally, but you shouldn't be taking breaks every ten minutes unless it's an activity that's really easy to fatigue in. I'd say you should take a break every hour or so for maybe 15 minutes and then get back to it.]]> 2020-11-23 16:08:38 UTC https://padlet.com/peckda/602kjnvbmp8ztony/wish/952914390 150011530 https://padlet.com/peckda/602kjnvbmp8ztony/wish/952914887 This quote is explaining that being productive doesn't necessarily mean that you are causing yourself to be so exhausted that you can't do anything else because you are so burnt out. It's saying how everyone needs rest to be functional. Humans are not robots or machines and we all need to take breaks and step back and relax more than we probably do.]]> 2020-11-23 16:08:45 UTC https://padlet.com/peckda/602kjnvbmp8ztony/wish/952914887 150012001 https://padlet.com/peckda/602kjnvbmp8ztony/wish/952918454 This quote makes me think that its about taking a break every so often!  Everyone needs to contribute, but we are NOT machines, we all need a break sometimes!  Overall, I see that it is important to treat yourself with respect!  Give yourself a break every now and then!

Wearing yourself out and working for hours on end may make it seem like you're getting a lot done, but taking a short rest here or there will greatly increase how much you actually get done. I relate to this quote a lot because I have been doing nothing but writing essays for the past two days.
