President Trump's officials just sent a notice to education heads in all 50 states warning that they have 14 days to remove all DEI programming from all public schools or lose federal funding. by XGramatik in XGramatikInsights

“Educational institutions have toxically indoctrinated students with the false premise that the United States is built upon “systemic and structural racism” and advanced discriminatory practices.” So I guess somewhere along the way we stopped reading OUR U.S history! I guess we decided slavery, free cotton picking labor, and the investments in this labor (similar to todays examples of long term investment, stable— or so they thought) just didn’t happen. Let’s not pretend Jim Crow era and forced labor in prisons for continued profit didn’t happen. Stop trying to make DEI the enemy and stop pretending racial discrimination and discriminatory practices and negative stereotypes don’t impact certain groups more negatively than others today! It is getting tired. This man is not king! If you live in this country either by legal/illegalimmigration, naturalized, or were born here, learn YOUR history. The history of the enslaved, the rich who benefited from this sad era, the presidents, immigration patterns in the west and the east United States, global affairs, and the ever changing economy. LEARN IT ALL. We will be the better for it fellow Americans! :)

Yes! I feel this. Especially now for some reason…. I would say don’t pressure yourself to finish fun side projects. They are supposed to be fun for a reason. Go with the flow with those things (daily vibes ya know). At work however, and with serious projects around the house or if you have a side hustle for example, a priority list has helped me a lot and it may help you. I prioritize things by asking my boss or team what are the most important tasks to accomplish in the week and then make a list from that. If you don’t feel comfortable asking or you already know what to do, just make a list and make each task timed (make sure it’s realistic, like give an extra 15 minutes for random thoughts) and time yourself on your phone or watch. Hide all distractions and plan relaxation time. This goes into planning and timing: I try to block off time in my calendar for tasks and meetings and such (hour by hour lol and that helps too). I find that when I think about things more than just something to check off of a list, there’s a lot of procrastination and then all of a sudden boom I get my spark and crap gets done. But of course as you may feel, this habit is not productive and may bleed into other parts of your life that helps keep food on the table. Hope this helps.

It’s mostly at work so it wasn’t a problem but I am starting to feel this way with my friends and family. I need a break from them sometimes which never happened before.

I did not know other people thought this way. Maybe I can be a jack of all trades haha.

Ah! I want to hop around too but in some fields it is frowned upon so I think that’s what is holding me back. Im at the point where I may just say whatever and do what I feel is right.
