You articulated a number of things that have floated through my mind over the last year - yet with some additional insights. Thank you for the Food for Thought questions at the end - they are great anchors for choosing "what" to focus our productivity efforts around! ;) Amy Miyamoto Ali,

I have plenty of views on education and politics. ;-) Of course, there aren't really any definitive "female" or "male" views - but I do think there are more "feminine" and more "masculine" ways of approaching different areas. I suspect we can all benefit by learning from and discussing with people who frame the world in a slightly different way (my brother and my fiancé are much more analytical/logical and much less emotional than me about political debate, for instance).

Your post really got me wondering about your perspective -- and then further, the feminine perspective -- on pretty much everything I'm currently involved in: education, politics, business, urban development. In my offline business (I own a bakery), I delight in working with women a lot more than men. I love the perspective designerettes bring to the table, prefer women architects, and have really enjoyed working with my female employees. Something else I find fascinating is that men are naturally drawn to environments designed for women... Once again, great piece! Ali,

Yeah, I know what you mean about "productivity porn" (maybe it's "productivity for masochists"...) I've never been a bloke, so can't speak for how much they go in for self-flagellation and guilt. ;-) But I think you're probably right and it's common to most of us. I don't think guilt-tripping helps anyone be more productive (at least, not in a healthy way). Cheers, Amy.
