this is very accurate, even if you don't come in like this, you come out of MIT with this view.
5 years later I've never escaped the "MIT VIEW: Increase intensity. Maximum intensity = maximum productivity. If you find yourself relaxed and with your mind wandering, you are probably having a detrimental effect on the recovery rate."
I love it, but I completely recognize that I came in a person and out a machine.
- sgpl 15y agoWait? Is that an honest comment? Because I go to a somewhat challenging Tech School, and am down in the trenches. If that is indeed true, I might try and adopt some of the listed stuff, given that I already do some of these. Please let me know!
- _corbett 15y agohey-so in my interpretation the basic thesis of this document is that MIT's culture doesn't really support "burnout prevention and recovery" which rings true to me. I never experienced burnout at MIT but yea my intuition about avoiding it is strongly warped just for having been there.
