I've been reading this blog for a couple years now, and I've found this to be one of the most useful posts. The reason why is what you summarize in the conclusion. As Cal Newport (the prophet of our age) says, "Intentionality is satisfying." And if what I'm observing is correct, this college faculty gig is far from satisfying for many (especially since the spike in online offerings). Intentionality is the productive and healthy response.
Thanks Cody, I have to admit I steal a lot from Cal! I've been a fan of his ever since he was a super-student undergrad at Dartmouth writing the _Study Hacks_ blog. _Slow Productivity_ is one of my current reads and I cannot recommend it enough.
